Medicare Savings Program (MSP)
WA Health Care Authority
Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs) are Medicaid-funded programs administered by Washington that help individuals entitled to Medicare pay their Part A and/or Part B premiums and (for QMB) cost-sharing. Washington applies a $20 unearned-income disregard and notably has no asset test for MSP eligibility, applicants are not asked to verify bank account balances or other resources. There are four tiers, each with different income thresholds and benefits. MSP enrollees are also automatically enrolled in the federal Extra Help / Low-Income Subsidy for Medicare Part D.
