Medicaid & Low-Income Benefits:

Medicare Savings Programs

Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs) are Medicaid-administered programs available to Medicare and Medicaid eligible beneficiaries with limited income and resources to help pay for their Medicare cost-sharing. At the very least, all MSPs save beneficiaries the cost of monthly Medicare premiums.

There are four MSPs for which Medicare-eligible people may qualify, depending on their financial situations:

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