The Medicare Savings Program (MSP) is a program designed to help people with limited income pay for their Medicare costs. Here's a simple explanation of the key points:

What it does

The Medicare Savings Program can help eligible individuals pay for:

Medicare Part A and/or Part B premiums

Deductibles

Coinsurance

Copayments


Types of programs

There are three main types of Medicare Savings Programs:

Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB): Covers Part A and B premiums, deductibles, and copayments.

Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB): Pays for Part B premiums only.

Qualifying Individual (QI): Also pays for Part B premiums only.


Eligibility

To qualify for an MSP, you generally need to:

Have Medicare Part A

Meet income and asset limits set by your state

It's important to note that income and asset limits vary by state, and some states may have higher limits or waive asset requirements altogether.


Benefits

Enrolling in an MSP can provide significant financial relief:

Save money on Medicare costs

Automatically qualify for Extra Help with Medicare prescription drug costs


If you think you might be eligible, it's worth applying even if your income seems above the limits, as some income and assets may not be counted in determining eligibility.

Each state can set different eligibility requirements for the Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs), within limits set by federal law. This means that states can have higher income and asset limits, and can have more generous rules for how certain types of income and assets are accounted for. It is important to know that many states require you to apply for any money you might be eligible for, including Social Security retirement benefits, in order to qualify for an MSP.
