MEDICARE SAVINGS PROGRAM

Posted on May 28, 2022 by East Lyme

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.

If you would like more information or would like to apply for this program, call the Senior Center office.
