AllyAlign Health has partnered with several Nursing Home companies to form Institutional Special Needs Plans (I-SNPs), which are a form of Medicare Advantage Plans.

We are establishing the Member Advocate role to enroll members into our plan and to serve as a point of contact for the member and/or their families during their coverage period with the I-SNP.
For new or expanding I-SNPs, the annual enrollment period commences October 15 and ending December 7 with effective coverage beginning January 1 of the next year. Due to the specialized focus of the plan, newly-admitted residents to a facility meeting enrollment qualifications will have an opportunity to continuously enroll into the plan throughout the benefit year. Service area expansions within existing markets will be handled on a case-by-case basis with effective dates of coverage determined by the Plan. For existing Plans, the I-SNP will enroll new members continuously throughout the year.
