SNBC Spenddowns & Re-Enrollment
What happens to SNBC coverage when someone has a spenddown, misses payments, or needs to get back into a plan after a lapse.
Spenddowns & Re-Enrollment
I missed spenddown payments and my SNBC ended — how do I get back in?
Purpose
Use when someone has missed spenddown payments, was disenrolled, or needs re-enrollment steps.
Q & A
Q: What are the payment options for people with SNBC and a spenddown?
A:
- Option 1: Pay the spenddown directly to DHS (DHS invoices monthly)
- Option 2: If receiving PCA, CFSS, or HCBS waiver services, pay a designated provider who bills monthly
Q: What happens if spenddowns go unpaid for three months?
A:
DHS will automatically disenroll the person from their SNBC plan and mail a notice that coverage is ending.
Q: How can someone re-enroll after being disenrolled for past-due spenddowns?
A:
Pay past-due spenddowns in full within 90 days, contact DHS Billing to confirm payment, and request DHS Billing notify Managed Care Enrollment to remove the unpaid spenddown exclusion code.
DHS Managed Care then allows re-enrollment.
Q: Who can provide an account summary for spenddowns?
A:
DHS Billing can provide an account summary showing what is owed and what has been paid.
