Medicare Savings Programs
Author: Kathleen M. King

Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Congress established four Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs) and the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) program to help low-income beneficiaries pay for some or all of Medicare's cost-sharing requirements. Historically low enrollment in MSPs has been attributed to lack of awareness about the programs and cumbersome enrollment processes through state Medicaid programs. The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) included requirements for the Social Security Admin. (SSA) and state Medicaid agencies aimed at eliminating barriers to MSP enrollment. Most notably, MIPPA created a new pathway to MSP enrollment by requiring SSA, beginning Jan. 1, 2010, to transfer the information from a LIS application to the relevant state Medicaid agency, and the state must initiate an application for MSP enrollment. This report describes (1) SSA's implementation of the requirements; (2) how MSP enrollment levels have changed from 2007 through 2011 and the factors that may have contributed to those changes; and (3) the effects of the MIPPA requirements on states' administration of MSPs. Tables. This is a print on demand report.

Expanding Eligibility for Medicare Savings Programs
Author:
Publisher:

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
New York State can save up to $180 million a year for its EPIC (Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage) prescription drug assistance program by increasing the number of EPIC members who qualify for Medicare's Extra Help program (also called the Low-Income Subsidy). Extra Help, the fully federally funded assistance program for people with low incomes, would pay the premiums and cost-sharing under the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit that are now largely paid by EPIC, a program exclusively funded with state monies. The best way to increase enrollment in Extra Help is to expand eligibility for Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs), which pay premiums and cost-sharing for low-income people with Medicare and automatically qualify MSP enrollees for Extra Help. The savings generated for EPIC offset all or most of the additional state cost from increased enrollment in MSPs, while giving a substantial benefit to older New Yorkers with limited incomes. In addition, this reform could help fund an expansion of EPIC to include people under the age of 65 who have Medicare because of a disability.
