Medicare is a medical insurance program for low-income individuals who have paid Social Security taxes and are at least 62 years of age, as well as their spouses and disabled children. The Medicare Savings Program (MSP) may help pay for Medicare Part A or Part B premiums. It can also help cover deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments for people who have Medicare Part A, meet certain income limits, and have limited resources.
Note: Medicare provides coverage to people who are 65 and older or have a severe disability, regardless of income. Medicaid provides coverage to people with low incomes. When you apply for benefits with us, we can help determine which non-Medicare programs you qualify for and assist with the health insurance application process.
Visit www.medicare.gov for information on how and when to apply for Medicare. (We do not enroll or determine eligibility for Medicare.)
The Medicare Savings Program includes several categories that assist with health care costs for eligible Medicare Part A patients.
LIS helps pay for Part D monthly premiums, annual deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments.
QDWI pays for your Medicare Part A premiums only. You are still responsible for deductibles and coinsurance.
