Are there Medicare plans that also help with chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure that run in my family?

Question

Ann Sanfelippo · Accepted Answer

Yes. Many Medicare Advantage plans offer care management programs for chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. If you already have certain qualifying conditions, you may also be eligible for a Chronic Condition Special Needs Plan (C-SNP), which provides more specialized care coordination and benefits.

If these conditions only run in your family and you haven't been diagnosed, you won't qualify for a C-SNP based on family history alone. However, Medicare covers preventive services like diabetes screenings for people at increased risk, and many Medicare Advantage plans offer wellness programs to help you stay healthy.

Lindsey Douglas · Answer

Yes, there are Medicare plans designed to provide additional support for people with certain chronic health conditions. These are called Chronic Condition Special Needs Plans (C-SNPs). If you have a qualifying condition—such as diabetes, chronic heart disease, or other eligible chronic illnesses—you may be able to enroll in a plan that offers benefits and care coordination.
Keep in mind that having a family history of a condition alone does not qualify you. You must have a diagnosis of an eligible chronic condition to enroll in a C-SNP.

If you have been diagnosed with a chronic condition, I'd be happy to review your options and see if you qualify for a plan that could better meet your healthcare needs.

Some Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans (SNPs) are designed specifically for people managing chronic conditions and often include extra benefits like nutrition support and care coordination. I can check if you qualify for one of these plans based on your health history.

If you have Original Medicare Part A & Part B, normally Medicare Part B will cover these conditions at a Doctor whom accepts Medicare assignment. If Medicare approves the Part B claim or claims then a Medicare Supplement insurance Plan G or a Plan N will be what you want with secondary insurance coverage. Medicare Supplement insurance Plan G or a Plan N will be your secondary insurance on approved claims on Medicare Part A & Part B. It is also good while traveling. Thank you.

There are Medicare Advantage plans that are for chronic conditions. However, in most states Medicare beneficiaries can only enroll in these plans if they have heart issues or diabetes.

Jami Mead · Answer

There are many Medicare Advantage Chronic Illness Plans available today, and one great benefit is that if you have a chronic condition, you can join at any time of the year, not just during open enrollment. Contact me to explore which plan might be the best fit for your needs.

These types of plan are designed for those that already have these conditions, not because they run in your family.

Yes they are called Chronic Complete.  If you have let's say diabetes you would qualify.  It gives you some additional care benefits
