If you do not qualify for Medicaid you may still qualify for financial assistance.

Medicaid also has programs that pay some or all of Medicare's premiums and may also pay Medicare deductibles and coinsurance for certain older, low-income, or disabled individuals entitled to Medicare Part A. If you do not have Part A or do not know if you are eligible, check with your local Social Security office, or call 1-800-772-1213.

If you have Part A, and your bank accounts, stocks, bonds, or other resources do not exceed $4,000 for an individual, or $6,000 for a couple, you may qualify for assistance as a Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB), Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB), or Qualifying Individual (QI).

*2006 figures (Figures change annually. 2007 figures should be out by the end of March)

Not all programs are available at all times.

To apply for one of these programs, contact your local Welfare Division.

If you think you may qualify and have questions, contact a SHIP Counselor at (702) 486-3478 in Las Vegas or (800) 307-4444 statewide.
