Dual Eligibility – Medicaid & Medicare

Dual Eligibility – Medicaid & Medicare

If you have Medicaid and qualify for Medicare, then congratulations! You are called “Dual Eligible”. Having Daul eligibility means Medicaid will help you pay for your Medicare. You can also apply for more benefits with a Medicare Advantage Plan. Allow a Health Advisor to help you find the plan with the most benefits. Click here

What Medicaid helps pay for

If you have Medicare and qualify for full Medicaid coverage:

  • Your state will pay your Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) monthly premiums.
  • Depending on the level of Medicaid you qualify for, your state might pay for:
    • Your share of Medicare costs, like
      deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments
      Part A (Hospital Insurance)

      premiums, if you have to pay a premium for that coverage.

  •  You’ll automatically get Extra Help with your drug costs. Learn more about Extra Help.
  • Medicaid may pay for other drugs and services that Medicare doesn’t cover.
