Memorial Hermann Health Plan is excited to offer a Dual Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) called Memorial Hermann Dual Advantage (HMO D-SNP) for 2024. A dual special needs plan is a type of health insurance plan for people that meet eligibility criteria and have both Medicaid and Medicare coverage. You may see this referred to as “dual-eligible” or a D-SNP plan. These names all mean the same thing.

Dual health plans work together with your Medicaid coverage. You’ll keep all your Medicaid benefits. Dual health plans cover eligible prescription drugs and may offer more health benefits than with Original Medicare and a separate Part D plan. For more specific information on if you are eligible for a D-SNP plan or would like to learn more about this plan, please call Customer Service at (855) 645-8448 (TTY 711) for assistance. Hours of operation are 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. CT, during October 1 – March 31 and Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. CT, during April 1 – September 30.

Formulary

Every plan has a "List of Covered Drugs" which are also known as a Formulary or a Drug List (or also known as Prescription Drug Lists or PDL). The Prescription Drug List (PDL) or Formulary is updated at least monthly and can vary from plan to plan. To view more information on what is a Prescription Drug List (PDL) or Formulary, please visit the formulary information page.

Memorial Hermann Dual Advantage (HMO D-SNP) members may also request to receive a printed Formulary in the mail. Please click here to complete the request form.

List of Medications with Prior Authorizations and Step Therapy Requirements

Some drugs on the Prescription Drug Lists (PDL) or Formulary may have additional rules associated with coverage or may have certain limitations. These limits are listed in the formulary documents above. You can also view the documents that explain our prior authorization and step therapy restrictions by visiting our formulary page. If you like to get more information or assistance with any drugs on the formulary, a drug with any limitations or coverage rules, or would like to get a drug that is not listed on the formulary, then please call Customer Service. Our contact information is listed on the formulary documents and on the bottom of this webpage.

Current members may also be affected by changes in our formulary from one year to the next. The transition policy allows you to get a temporary supply of the non- formulary drug or drugs that have restrictions, if those members need a refill for the drug during the first 90 days of new membership in our Plan.
