Special Needs Plans (SNPs) Resources for Providers
Learn about our SNP plans
Our chronic condition special needs plans (C-SNPs) and dual-eligible special needs plans (D-SNPs) include tailored benefits for members with complex health needs.
How you support SNP members
For members in our D-SNP and C-SNP plans, there are additional ways we coordinate with providers to support our members’ care.
1. Verify a member's chronic condition
For newly enrolled C-SNP members, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires verification from a treating provider that the member has at least one of the qualifying chronic conditions. A current provider must verify that the member has a qualifying condition within 60 days of enrollment for the member to stay on the plan.
At Devoted, all of our C-SNP plans are Group 4 plans, meaning members must have one of the following conditions:
- Diabetes mellitus (pre-diabetes does not qualify)
- Chronic heart failure
- Cardiovascular disorders (cardiac arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, chronic venous thromboembolic disorder, and/or valvular heart disease)
Without provider verification, the member cannot remain enrolled in our C-SNP plan and will lose access to their coverage and specialized benefits designed to help them manage their chronic condition. If you receive a request from Devoted Health to verify a qualifying chronic condition for one of your patients, please respond as soon as possible.
How to verify a chronic condition
There are multiple ways providers can complete the verification form.
- We will fax the verification form to your office. Complete the form and fax it to 1-833-434-0535.
- Call us at 1-877-762-3515 to verify the member’s condition by phone (Monday -Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time).
- Download and upload the completed form directly from the Devoted provider portal. This option is only available for participating primary care provider groups.
2. Encourage members to complete a Health Risk Assessment (HRA)
We conduct HRAs within 90 days of signing up, then annually thereafter. This helps us get a better picture of a member’s health.
3. Help us develop Individualized Care Plans (ICPs)
ICPs for new members are available about 3 months after their start date. We’ll share them with the member’s identified care team members, such as the member’s PCP, via fax.
To provide feedback on a member’s ICP, fax 1-888-973-8821 or call 1-877-762-3515.
4. Review our Model of Care
CMS requires all special needs plans (SNPs) to train providers annually on our Model of Care.
- Our Model of Care outlines how providers like you play a key role in coordinating care for our SNP members.
- Learn how we can work together — and how we can support you — in caring for these members
