Mahoning County residents who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid often have unique healthcare needs, especially if they enjoy spending part of the year in warmer climates. Local agent Kim Golphin is here to help you understand how your 2026 Dual-Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) might work while you travel.
Staying connected to your Youngstown healthcare team is vital, whether you are at home near Mill Creek Park or traveling out of state. Many D-SNP plans are designed to help coordinate your care across different settings.

If you are a 'snowbird' heading to a warmer state for the winter, it is important to check how your 2026 plan handles out-of-area care. While Medicare and Medicaid benefits remain constant, the way you access them can change based on your location.
