Special Needs Plans: Regulatory Challenges and Market Strategies is your guide to Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans (SNPs), one of the most complex — and important — areas of health care, and one that’s getting changed dramatically as a result of the new health care reform law.

  • How are the SNPs that are successful doing it?
  • What financial and regulatory problems are other SNPs running into?
  • What impact did new rules affecting chronic care SNPs have so far, and what are they likely to have in the future?
  • Why are some operators expanding in dual-eligible SNPs while others are getting out?
  • What impact will the reform law have on SNPs?

These are the kinds of questions that Special Needs Plans: Regulatory Challenges and Market Strategies will help you answer. It looks at major developments during the past few years from both a business and regulatory standpoint, including business case studies and government actions at both the federal and state levels. Plus – the report features a comprehensive directory of SNPs and their enrollment, high­lighting the emerging and dominant players.

The special rules that apply to these plans can bring both problems to weaker players and expansion opportunities for stronger ones. Learn how to be one of the strong ones – order Special Needs Plans: Regulatory Challenges and Market Strategies today!
