DHS-6451B-ENG 10-25 (4.3.0)

Special Needs BasicCare (SNBC) Choice Form

Special Needs Basic Care (SNBC) is a voluntary managed care program for people on Medical Assistance with disabilities ages 18-64 who live in Minnesota.

This form is only for enrollment and disenrollment from a SNBC Non-Integrated (NI) health plan or to opt out of SNBC-NI.

SNBC-NI: An SNBC-NI health plan only covers your Medical Assistance (MA). If you also have Medicare, then your Medicare coverage will be directly handled by Medicare, and you will need a separate Medicare Part D Plan.
Opt out of SNBC-NI: You will not be enrolled in a health plan and will receive your MA fee for service. If you have Medicare also, then your Medicare coverage will be directly handled by Medicare, and you will need a separate Medicare Part D Plan.

Do not use this form for SNBC Integrated (I) enrollment or health plan changes. SNBC-I means that MA and Medicare services are combined into one health plan. Contact the health plan directly to enroll in SNBC.

If you have questions about any of these SNBC plan options, or need help understanding how to use this form, contact Disability Hub MN™ at 866-333-2466 or online at disabilityhubmn.org.
