What does dual eligible mean?
"Dual eligible" means you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid benefits.
What is a Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP)?
A D-SNP is a type of Medicare Advantage plan run by a private company, like Shared Health. But only people who have both Medicare and Medicaid can get it.

A Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) like Shared Health Dual Plus has a lower cost because members must use providers that are in the network in most cases.

A Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) like Shared Health Dual Freedom costs a little more. But it offers flexibility to use providers in and out of the plan's network.
What's the service area for our plans?
Our Shared Health Dual Plus service area includes all Mississippi counties except: Adams, Forrest, Lamar and Wilkinson counties.

Our Shared Health Dual Freedom service area includes all Mississippi counties except: Adams, Alcorn, Coahoma, Forrest, Lamar, Lincoln, Oktibbeha and Wilkinson counties.
