This plan is for people with Medicaid. What you pay depends on your Medicaid level: with QMB, your share of Medicare-covered services is covered; with full Medicaid benefits, your state may also cover Medicaid-covered services. Your state Medicaid office can confirm your level — or call us at 1-866-764-3312 (TTY 711) and a Licensed Medicare Advisor will help confirm it and discuss this plan's details with you. If you lose Medicaid eligibility, you may be billed the plan's cost sharing.
