If you or someone you know is less than $1,215/month low income, this QMB program makes it possible for the least of us to receive needed medical care.
But is this advertised 24/7 during open enrollment?
Spread the word.
In 2017, 7.7 million people (more than one out of eight people with Medicare) were in the QMB program.

Enrollment in each state is handled by the same team that enrolls Medicaid. There are advocates that can help Seniors connect to the i sicko within the State Medicaid Team who handle QMB.
I find it a bit shameful how few medical professionals are aware of this program!!!
