1. Too soon to tell at this point. Some of the members live in the Service Area of PPO’s who could be moved to an alternate plan, but I think this would require some paperwork (I don’t think it will happen automatically). Again, it is early, but (assuming they decide to get out of the PFFS business), if the client doesn’t do anything, they would be disenrolled and put back on original medicare.
2. Regarding DUAL SNP plans, the sense I’m getting is that the funding cuts will not impact the DUAL SNP to the same extent as the other MA products.

What will they do with the existing PFFS client base? Will they disenroll them from the plans?

Also, do you know how 2010 changes will affect the Special Needs plans, particulary, the DUAL eligible plans like Advantra One or Evercare DH?
