- Covers payment of Medicare Part B premiums
- This program has limited funding. It is first-come first-served basis.
You are eligible for QI if:
- you are enrolled in or eligible to enroll in Medicare Part A or eligible to enroll in Medicare Part B
- your income is at or below $1,549 per month ($2,080 per month if you are married) (income limits change 7/1/2023)
- your assets are less than $10,000 ($18,000 for a married couple)
NOTE: Be clear that you want a Medicare Savings Program. Sometimes a county enrolls people in Medical Assistance with a high spenddown instead of the QI program.
If you do not have monthly out-of-pocket medical bills that are higher than your spenddown, the Medical Assistance Program won’t help you.
