How it Works

We help people enroll in Medicare Savings Programs and save on their Part B Premiums and prescription drug costs.

We work with the state to find out if you qualify and help you enroll — at no cost to you. Plus, we may find helpful community resources that are nearby. This service is offered by your health plan as part of your Medicare plan benefits.

Did you know…

Medicaid can help you or a loved one pay for assisted living or long-term care. It also helps people with disabilities and provides access to healthcare for people with lower incomes.

Medicaid rules can seem complex. Plus, it is run by both the federal and state governments. This makes learning about it confusing. Find out if you can save money today!

Myth

Medicaid and welfare are the same thing.

Fact

Not anymore. At first, Medicaid provided health insurance for people on welfare. But the two programs separated more than 20 years ago in 1996.

Myth

You only get one chance to qualify for a Medicare Savings Program.

Fact

Your eligibility can change over time. That means you can try each year.

Myth

If I am on Medicaid, the government can come after my estate.

Fact

Medicaid law requires the state to take back any long-term benefits it paid. Generally, this occurs only after the death of the person who has received Medicaid.

Myth

Medicare and Medicaid are not connected at all.

Fact

The two programs are joined in many ways. More than 9 million people are on both Medicare and Medicaid.

Myth

Medicaid is for people without jobs or who are looking for handouts.

Fact

65% of people on Medicaid are from working families.
