Who should fill out a Medicare MB application?

Those people who want to start a Medicare savings program, which will help pay for the Medicare prescription drug program should fill out a Qualified Medicare Beneficiary, or QMB, application, note the Official United States Government Site for Medicare. People applying for this program must meet certain eligibility criteria.

To qualify for the QMB program, single applicants must have an income that does not exceed $1,001 per month, as of 2015. Married applicants must not exceed a monthly income limit of $1,348.

The QMB programs helps Medicare recipients pay for things like Part A premiums, Part B premiums, coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles. Even those with incomes that are slightly higher than the amounts given above should apply to take advantage of this program.
