This week, our In Focus section reviews the request for proposals (RFP) issued by Minnesota’s Department of Human Services for the Special Needs BasicCare (SNBC) Program, which provides voluntary managed care services to Medicaid adults with disabilities. This procurement covers more than 45,000 enrollees in 62 of Minnesota’s 87 counties, more than 90 percent of the statewide SNBC program. A primary goal of the RFP is the integration of Medicaid and Medicare benefits through the encouragement of dual eligible special needs plan (D-SNP) participation. Currently, less than 800 dual eligible enrollees are in an integrated SNBC plan, out of more than 27,000 duals in SNBC overall.
