Medicare Savings Programs

Medicare Savings Programs are a group of Medicaid programs that help Medicare beneficiaries pay some of their out-of-pocket Medicare costs, such as premiums and co-insurance amounts. 

There are three Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs) that Medicare-eligible individuals may qualify for depending on their financial resources:

• Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB)
• Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB)
• Qualified Individual (QI)
