Medicare Savings Programs

Eligibility for state-sponsored Medicare Savings Programs depends on your income and financial resources. Depending on your eligibility, some or all your health care costs may be covered. For more information, call us to speak with a licensed Medicare insurance agent or contact your state’s Medicaid office.

 

If you’re eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, learn if a Wellpoint Dual-Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) is right for you.

What types of Medicare Savings Programs might I be eligible for?

 

Programs designed to help pay for Medicare include:

  • Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB) Program
  • Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB) Program
  • Qualified Individual (QI) Program
  • Qualified Disabled and Working Individuals (QDWI) Program

 

Extra Help for prescription drugs

 

Extra Help is a federal government program that helps cover prescription drug costs and waives late enrollment penalties for Medicare Part D. You may qualify for the Extra Help prescription drug program even if you're not eligible for any of the Medicare Savings Programs. Visit the Social Security website or an office near you to see if you qualify and apply.
