What If You Can’t Afford Medicare Or Medicaid Part # 2
What is Medicaid and How Can You Qualify Part # 2
Many people who are elderly or have disabilities have trouble paying the portion of medical bills left unpaid by Medicare and cannot afford private supplement insurance or a Medicare Advantage plan, but do not qualify for Medicaid. If this is your situation, you might be able to get help paying Medicare payments and portions of Medicare-covered costs that Medicare does not pay. Three cost-reduction plans—called Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB), Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB), and Qualifying Single (QI)—are administered by each state’s Medicaid plan. (In addition, you may also qualify for “Extra Help” paying for the Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan.)
