Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB) Program

Who Are Eligible for the QMB Program?

In general, you need to meet three different requirements to be eligible for the QMB program. These include resource limits, income limits, and Medicare Part A eligibility. It is possible to receive the benefits for the QMB program no matter if you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan or original Medicare. Since all Medicare Savings Programs are managed by the Medicaid office in each state, your state is responsible for determining whether you are qualified or not. In other words, specific rules and criteria can vary from state to state. [3]
