How Medicare and Medicaid Work Together
Some Peoples Health plans are specifically for people with both Medicare and Medicaid
If you have Medicare and get additional medical assistance from the state of Louisiana or Louisiana Medicaid, you could be getting even richer benefits than you’re getting now.
Special Needs Plans
Medicare uses the term “dual-eligible” for people who qualify for Medicare and Medicaid. Peoples Health offers dual-eligibles what Medicare calls “dual-eligible special needs plans," or D-SNPs.
Peoples Health dual-eligible special needs plans are available to anyone who has both Medicare and medical assistance from the state or Louisiana Medicaid. Some of these plans are only available to people who have full Medicaid. Other plans are available to those with partial Medicaid.
If you have Medicare and Medicaid, ask us about:
- Comprehensive physical exams
- Tests and screenings
- Rides to doctors’ appointments
- Fitness center membership
- Meals after inpatient hospital stay
- Over-the-counter health and wellness items
- Respite care for members with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease
- Routine hearing services, including hearing aids
- Routine vision coverage
- Routine dental coverage
- Prescription drug coverage, including coverage for brand drugs
