Our Special Needs Plan Model of Care (SNP-MOC) training content is developed by the Provider Relations Department in collaboration with the SNP-MOC Process Manager and approved by the Chief Medical Officer. Training materials are updated annually to ensure the content is current and covers the elements of care are being delivered according to the current SNP-MOC program.
