Scott Maulsby - Extra Benefits for Adult Children with Disabilities

Описание: Episode #6 - Extra Benefits for Adult Children with Disabilities

If you’re the parent or guardian of an adult child with disabilities, this episode is for you.

In Episode #6 of A-Parent-Ly, we’re talking about something most families are never told about: extra benefits available through Medicare Advantage Dual Special Needs Plans (DSNPs).

As a special needs dad myself, I understand how overwhelming Medicare, Medicaid, and TennCare can feel. What many parents don’t realize is that their adult child may qualify for Medicare — even under age 65 — and if they have both Medicare and Medicaid, they may be eligible for additional benefits designed specifically for their situation.

In this episode, I explain:

• How adults with disabilities qualify for Medicare
• What a Dual Special Needs Plan (DSNP) is
• Extra benefits that may include dental, vision, hearing, transportation, OTC/flex cards, food benefits, and more
• How Medicaid (like TennCare) coordinates with Medicare
• Enrollment timing and common mistakes families make
• Practical next steps to check eligibility

I’m sharing this not just as a licensed health insurance agent, but as a parent walking this road too. So many families miss out on benefits simply because no one explains them clearly.

If this helps your family — or another special needs family you know — please share it.

You are not alone in this journey.
