"As the SNP Alliance continues to review the CY 2026 Parts C and D proposed rule, we will be assessing the proposed rule for SNP-specific impacts with a significant focus on implications for the over 7 million Special Needs Plan (SNP) enrollees, in keeping with our mission, and the 1,384 SNPs (D-SNPs, I-SNP, and C-SNPs) who provide critical life-sustaining services and supports," said Mike Cheek, President and CEO of the SNP Alliance. The SNP Alliance appreciates CMS' forward-thinking policy proposals and looks forward to providing meaningful, constructive input on topics such as how the HRA proposals align across State Medicaid programs as well as how plans will work with multiple states on the alignment of HRA timing, Model of Care policy interactions with state-specific requirements for assessments, new Enrollee Advisory Committee requirements for D-SNPs, and Health Equity Index changes and potential impacts on D-SNPs and I-SNPs.?The SNP Alliance also would like to work with CMS to understand the GLP-1 coverage change on SNPs.?
