Living in Clark County with both Medicare and Medicaid can sometimes feel like you are balancing two different worlds. Dual Special Needs Plans, or D-SNPs, are designed to bring those pieces together. These plans help simplify your coverage so you can focus on your health rather than paperwork. Kim Golphin is here to help you understand how these programs work right here in Springfield.

Coordinating Your Care in Clark County

D-SNP plans are built for individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. These plans often provide a simplified experience by coordinating your medical, hospital, and prescription drug coverage into one single plan. This is especially helpful for those managing chronic conditions or frequent doctor visits.

In Springfield, having a plan that understands local healthcare is vital. These options are designed to work alongside your existing Medicaid benefits, ensuring that your provider network and your coverage levels are aligned for the upcoming 2026 plan year.

Local Access to Mercy and Kettering Health

For many Springfield residents, staying close to home for care is a priority. When choosing a D-SNP, we look at plans that include access to major local systems like Mercy Health Springfield and Kettering Health Springfield. This ensures you can continue seeing the doctors you trust within Clark County.

We also check to make sure your primary care physicians and specialists are in-network. Transitions between hospital care and home care can be smoother when your Medicare and Medicaid benefits are managed through a single coordinated plan.
