Key Points Question Is enrollment in a chronic condition special needs plan (C-SNP) associated with improved outcomes in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD)? Findings In this cohort study of 2545 C-SNP enrollees matched at the facility level to patients not enrolled in C-SNP and 1986 C-SNP enrollees matched at the county level to patients not enrolled in C-SNP, C-SNP enrollees had significantly lower hospitalization rates and mortality risk than matched patients who were not enrolled in a C-SNP. Meaning The findings of this study suggest that enrollment in a C-SNP may improve outcomes compared with standard care for patients with ESKD.
