6. Changes to Special Supplemental Benefits (SSBCI) in Medicare Advantage
Some Supplemental Benefits for the Chronically Ill (SSBCI) in Medicare Advantage plans will be restricted. Certain non-health benefits (e.g. home modifications, meal delivery) may no longer qualify under SSBCI in 2026.
💡 What you can do:
- Review what extra benefits your plan offered (meals, transportation, etc.).
- Be prepared for benefit reductions; budget for out-of-pocket costs for services no longer covered.
