The Medicare Savings Program (MSP), also known as the Buy-In, provides qualified Medicare eligible individuals with Medicaid coverage that pays for their Medicare premiums. The Department also provides additional benefits for Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries (QMB), which are detailed below.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) enrolls SSI recipients for the Buy-In of Medicare Part B premiums. If the individual needs assistance with payment of Medicare Part A premiums, DHHS enrolls the individual in Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries (QMB). See Section 4.1 of this Part.
