Special Needs Plan Alliance Grows to Represent 95% of SNPs

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, October 19, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- The Special Needs Plan Alliance has expanded its membership, welcoming three new organizations to its ranks. Texas Independence Health Plan, a provider-led I-SNP, Clever Care Health Plan, a regional C-SNP, and Humana, a national insurer with a wide array of Special Needs Plan offerings, have joined the alliance. These additions bring the total membership to a significant 95% of the Special Needs Plan (SNP) space, according to Michael Cheek, President & CEO of the Alliance.

The growth of the Special Needs Plan Alliance is particularly noteworthy as it continues to represent all types of SNP providers, including those of varying organizational sizes and structures. The addition of these new members underscores the Alliance's commitment to inclusivity and its role in advocating for individuals with significant, complex needs.

The expansion of the Alliance is also significant in the context of the growing Special Needs Plan segment within Medicare Advantage (MA). Recent data indicates that SNPs now account for 37% of the total MA market. This statistic highlights the increasing importance of SNPs in the broader healthcare landscape and the critical role the Alliance plays in shaping policies and practices that affect these plans.

As the Alliance continues to grow, it is well-positioned to provide meaningful input to both state and federal partners. The inclusion of diverse members ensures a comprehensive and representative voice in discussions and decision-making processes related to Special Needs Plans.

In summary, the Special Needs Plan Alliance's ongoing growth through the addition of new members is a testament to its commitment to inclusivity and the advancement of care for individuals with complex needs. With 95% of the SNP space now represented, the Alliance is better equipped than ever to influence and improve the health outcomes of those it serves.
