A new operating standard for D-SNP

members.
Three nationals serve 70% of them.

Regional and community plans are stuck in their markets — and losing money on D-SNP. DualWorks makes the economics work: launch, comply, compete.

The Gap

Policy is pushing plans into D-SNP.
Infrastructure has not caught up.

2025–2026

Look-alike plans phase out as CMS lowers the threshold to 60%, forcing plans toward compliant D-SNP paths.

2027

Medicare growth becomes tied to Medicaid alignment, making enrollment coordination a core operating requirement.

2030

Alignment becomes the floor, requiring plans to operate Medicare and Medicaid as one integrated model.

Ongoing

States are raising expectations through SMACs, deeper integration requirements, and stronger operational accountability.

Plans lose margin when D-SNP work stays fragmented.

Care management, compliance, Stars, risk adjustment, provider data, and policy teams all own pieces of the operating model, leaving gaps:

$627K

FQHC undercoding leaves risk-adjusted revenue on the table.

Stars Drag

Coordination breaks down when ownership is split across teams.

Audit Exposure

Evidence gets lost across assessments, care notes, and disconnected systems.

Policy Updates

CMS changes keep moving while plans track execution in Word, Excel, and email.

"The Model of Care is not doing anything other than being a giant paper chase with a series of checkboxes."

Medicare Plan Policy Director

The platform

The Model of Care should not live in a binder.
It should run the work.

Every D-SNP commits to CMS how it will identify, assess, manage, and coordinate care for its members. Most plans file that commitment and never operationalize it.

DualWorks makes the Model of Care a living system — connecting those commitments to the provider networks required to deliver them, the care teams responsible for executing them, and the Stars and audit outcomes CMS comes back to measure.

Use Cases

Four problems every D-SNP hits.
Here is how they run on DualWorks.

Real scenarios from the day-to-day of regional and community plans.

Capture Revenue ↖

The chart says 3 conditions. The codes say 1.

Most of your duals are seen at FQHCs — conditions are treated and documented, but not all coded. The plan is paid below its real risk score.

Data in

AI Linked Chart Review

Prioritized review queue

Recaptures tracked, evidence attached

Not upcoding — accurate coding.

Teams Finance/Actuarial Provider Relations Claims UM/CM IT/Core Systems
Lift Quality ↖

The measure that won't move.

Medication adherence misses the benchmark again. Outreach, rewards, and provider education all launch — and nobody can say which one worked.

Teams Care Management Pharmacy Benefits Provider Relations Sales & Marketing
Prove Compliance ↖

The member the system never saw.

The MOC promises an HRA in 90 days, a care plan, a care team. But evidence lives in notes and spreadsheets — and the member who slipped through surfaces in a survey, after the hospitalization.

The guidance letter lands on a Friday.

One state letter spawns a chain of deadlines, attestations, postings, and P&P revisions — buried in Word, Excel, and email threads.

Built to Compete

The operating standard D-SNP has been missing.

Regional, community-rooted, health system-owned, and public plans are being asked to run D-SNPs with the complexity of United or Humana.

DualWorks gives them the operating layer to capture revenue, lift Stars, prove compliance, and reduce administrative burden — with $4–11M in addressable annual impact per 5,000 dual lives.

Intuitive by design

A UI your teams actually want to open — clear queues, plain language, no analyst required.

Not rip-and-replace

Start with one workflow. Prove value and get buy-in before expanding across teams and programs.

Works where your teams work

Recommendations and tasks can route through email, Teams, or Slack — powered by DualWorks.
