Summary
CMS now requires annual Model of Care training for all providers treating Special Needs Plan (SNP) members, including Dual-Eligible SNP (D-SNP) and Chronic Condition SNP (C-SNP) members. Providers must complete training and submit a voluntary attestation by December 31, 2026. Non-compliance may result in CMS audits and potential credentialing issues.
Action Required
By December 31, 2026: All providers serving SNP members (physicians, practitioners, hospitals, and ancillary providers) must complete the Model of Care Annual Training (recording) through Health Net and submit the voluntary attestation form available at course completion. Billing team should: (1) Identify which providers in the practice serve D-SNP or C-SNP members; (2) Communicate training deadline to those providers; (3) Maintain records of attestation completion for audit readiness; (4) Flag SNP member accounts in billing system to ensure providers have current training. Failure to complete training may trigger CMS audits and impact provider credentials.
