I now have a plan for people diagnosed with HBP,HC, or diabetes who can sign up during lock-in. It puts many of the brand-name meds for those conditions at a generic price. The inpatient hospital is a little higher as well as the outpatient surgery along with $10 co-pay for primary doc and $40 for a specialist. Anyone who has our state's prescription help has one SEP available. It's keeping me fairly busy.

I think you may talking about Secure Horizons EverCare Plan (or something comparable to it)...
Chronic Condition 1 SEP for Lifetime
Drug Subsidy to Dual Eligible Unlimited SEP for Lifetime
And yes it keeps me busy also!

There are numerous SNP plans out there that are keeping us busy.
Evercare looks like a good plan, but they have no network in KC.

What are you marketing in KC?

Coventry's Diabetic and Cholesterol PPO - it is a local PPO available in 6 counties around Kansas City
Actually they do. Evercare has an SNP (PPO) for both Chronic Illness and Dual Eligibles in Johnson and Wyandotte counties in Kansas. And the specific illnesses are over 8, which is fairly generous. Unfortunately, the rest of the state is without.
They cover Missouri best with about 20 counties split between the St. Louis area and Springfield area, leaving the KC market out at this time.

hmm...maybe I should give them another look...
SNPs are set in concrete for the time being. A moratorium has been enacted through 2009 on the expansion of any areas not covered on 1/1/08, so what you see is what you get.
As a matter of fact, Evercare was supposed to offer an Institutionalized SNP (Nursing Home) plan by April or May in Kansas. I guess that is not going to happen now.
I may be wrong, but I think the SNP benefits will enlarge to encompass more disease states, i.e. illnesses. As it stands, CIP only covers 4 while Evercare covers 8. My information leads me to believe this will be considerably expanded with the 2009 SNP benefit plans.
