There are two ways an individual can receive assistance with their Medicare premiums and Medicare costs.

 

1. The SSI Buy-In program is for SSI individuals who may qualify for assistance with their Medicare Part B premiums.
   
   
2. The Medicare Savings Programs (MSP) is the primary coverage for individuals with free Medicare Part A or requesting Medicaid to pay the Medicare Part A premium. MSP is available to assist with Medicare premiums and costs for people with limited income and assets. These programs include coverage of Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries (QMB), Specified Low-income Medicare Beneficiaries (SLMB), and Qualifying Individuals(QI).
