Abstract
Identifying strategies to reduce health care disparities is a national priority. This study examines factors within higher performing Medicare Advantage dual-eligible special needs plans (SNPs) that contribute to improved diabetic control. These structural and process elements include nonprofit status, interdisciplinary care teams, medication management, home visiting clinicians, and motivational interviewing. We suggest further research into the value of requiring all Medicare plans serving duals comply with standards for the SNP Model of Care. Finally, we recommend that all plans with dual and nondual members report scores separately to demonstrate the quality provided to the dual population.
