MEDICARE SAVINGS PROGRAM
Are you on Medicare and paying for your Part B premium?
If your monthly incomes is less than $2,786 (gross) as a single or $3,754 (gross) as a couple per month, you could be eligible for the Medicare Savings Program (MSP).
Depending upon your income level, you could be eligible for 3 benefits.
1. The MSP will pay for the Part B premium for Medicare coverage.
2. You would be eligible for the Low Income Subsidy which pays the full monthly premium of a Medicare Part D (prescription coverage) benchmark plan, or a portion of a non-benchmark plan, yearly deductibles and co-insurance, or co-pays. It also allows you to change your Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage plans outside of the open enrollment period.
3. You may be eligible for the MSP to act as your supplemental health insurance.
