SNP Alliance Spring Members-Only Roundtable

Defining the Critical Role of Special Needs Plans

Growing Demand with High Quality Services

April 16th & 17th, 2026

As CMS, the Hill and federal commissions continue to examine Medicare Advantage policy, and CMMI launches new demonstrations, the SNP Alliance must ensure SNPs continue to be viewed as high valuable approaches to complex care as well as to define SNP uniqueness. The SNP Alliance also must aid its members in navigating State Medicaid Agencies’ tight budgets and complex operating environments. SNPs already are well-positioned and unique because of their time-tested, core requirement for a tailored Model of Care and the underlying components. Every day, thousands of SNPs meet the needs of an increasingly complex number of older Medicare beneficiaries as well as under age 65 persons with disabilities. They also provide person-centered experiences through benefit design and clinical models. During the April 16-17 members-only meeting, the membership will hear from CMS officials and experts in complex chronic care about policy and practices strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats during day one. Each panel will conclude with a concrete set of action steps for plans and SNP Alliance policy development as well as advocacy. During the second day, April 17, based upon the expert panels, the membership will develop, or refine, SNP Alliance policy and strategy as well as identify needed technical assistance resources. The discussion will focus upon expanding SNP Request of Information responses, broad positioning strategies with CMS divisions, as well as CMMI, and proactively addressing unfolding Congressional policy discussions.
