Is there added help for people with limited resources?
Yes. People with both Medicare and Medicaid automatically qualify for added help. So do people who get some assistance from Medicaid to cover part of their Medicare costs (such as help paying Medicare premiums). Others with limited incomes and assets can qualify for added help. The level of help provided by Medicare will vary according to a person’s income, assets, and Medicaid status. For more information about the low-income subsidy (“extra help”), click here.
