pdfAppendix B: Special Needs Plan (SNP) Contract Status Review Matrix
Plans should use this document to identify where each SNP element is met within their
contract(s). The matrix will be used to assist the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
(CMS) in conducting the HIDE and FIDE SNP determination reviews. If an element is not
applicable, please indicate that in the not applicable column.
NOTE: To be designated as a HIDE SNP, a D-SNP must identify contract language for
provision 3 and provisions 5 or 6. To be designated as a FIDE SNP, a D-SNP must provide
contract language for provisions 3-9. Please answer all questions. If an element is not
applicable please indicate that in the not applicable column.
If the applicant is seeking HIDE or FIDE designation, then the following matrix must be
completed.
It is optional for organizations that answered “Yes” to attestation 4 in section 5.4, stipulating
that the SNP notifies, or arranges for another entity or entities to notify, the State Medicaid
Agency and/or its designee(s) of hospital and skilled nursing facility admissions for at least one
group of high-risk full-benefit dual eligible individuals identified by the State Medicaid
Agency, to complete this table.
