Medicare Savings Program Connecticut
Medicare Savings Program Connecticut (MSP) is a drug help program available to Connecticut residents on Medicare. The program provides help for drug copays, deductibles and premium to those who qualify based on income.
MSP is available to individuals and couples making under stated income guidelines which have been provided here:
- QMB – $2,088.90 for a single person and $2,816.85 for a couple
- SLMB – $2,286.90 for a single person and $3,083.85 for a couple
- ALMB – $2,435.40 for a single person and $3,284.10 for a couple
There is not an asset test for this program. As a result, it does not matter if you have investments, property, savings or any other lump sums of money. The program only takes your current income into account. Those that qualify for ALMB will no longer need to pay the $134 monthly part B premium. Copays will also be limited to maximum amounts regardless of what is listed as the drug copay on your Part D plan. MSP will also cover the Medicare Rx Part D premium, (up to the benchmark premium) deductible and will cover costs in the coverage gap. Those that qualify for QMB will receive all the above listed benefits and will also get help with medical copays. (With providers that participate with Medicaid/state.) (You must have private Part D drug coverage in order to receive MSP drug cost help)
