The State of Connecticut
offers financial assistance to eligible Medicare enrollees through our
'Medicare Savings Programs.' These programs may help pay Medicare Part B
premiums, deductibles and co-insurance. More people are eligible now than ever
before, as a result of a change in state law. Specifically, the state has
raised the income-eligibility limits and eliminated the asset reporting
requirement.
If you qualify for one of the three Medicare Savings Programs (depending on
your income), DSS will pay your Medicare Part B premium each month. In
addition, some enrollees will be covered for Medicare deductibles and
co-insurance.
We encourage you to check out the information on the Medicare Savings Programs
here, and apply for this service.
It's easy to apply, just download the application, fill it out, and send it to
the address listed on the form.
