If you get Medicare and have low income and few resources, your state may pay your Medicare premiums and, in some cases, other Medicare costs for which you are normally responsible such as deductibles and coinsurance.

Only your state can decide if you qualify for this assistance. To find out if you do, contact your state or local welfare office or Medicaid agency.

For more general information about the program, please go to the Medicare "Help with Medical and Drug Costs" page.
