Medicare Help for Lower-Income Households
Several programs exist specifically to lower Medicare costs for people with limited income and resources -- many eligible people don't realize they qualify.
Is this right for you?
- Your income and savings are limited relative to federal guidelines
- You're struggling with Medicare premiums, deductibles, or drug costs
- You want to know what you might qualify for before assuming you don't
Your options
State-run programs that can help pay Part A/B premiums and cost-sharing, depending on income.
Federal program that lowers Part D prescription drug costs for qualifying income levels.
If you qualify for both programs, they can work together to significantly lower your costs.
Common questions
How do I know if I qualify for a Medicare Savings Program?
Eligibility is based on income and resource limits that vary somewhat by state -- an agent can help you check your specific numbers.
Is Extra Help the same as a Medicare Savings Program?
No -- Extra Help specifically lowers drug costs, while Medicare Savings Programs can help with Part A/B premiums and cost-sharing. Someone can qualify for one, both, or neither.
Does applying affect other benefits I receive?
Generally these programs are designed to work alongside other benefits, but it's worth confirming your specific situation with an agent.
