Understanding Medicare Costs
Medicare is a federal program that helps cover healthcare costs for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as some younger people with disabilities. However, Medicare is not entirely free, and you may have to pay premiums, deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. The costs can add up, but there are ways to get help.
Medicare Part A: Covers hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, and some home health care services.
Medicare Part B: Covers doctor visits, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services.
Medicare Part D: Helps cover the cost of prescription drugs.
Who May Qualify for Assistance?
Assistance programs are available for individuals who have limited income and resources. If you fall into this category, you may be eligible for assistance with paying your Medicare premiums, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket costs. To qualify, you must meet certain income and resource criteria, which vary by state.
Income Limits: Your income must be below a certain level to qualify for assistance.
Resource Limits: Your assets, such as savings and investments, must also be below a specific limit.
Programs That Can Help
Several programs are designed to help individuals with limited income and resources pay for Medicare costs. Here are some of the most common ones:
Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs): These programs help pay for Medicare Part A and Part B premiums, deductibles, and coinsurance.
Extra Help (Low-Income Subsidy): This program helps cover the cost of Medicare Part D prescription drug costs.
Medicaid: A joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources.
