Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiaries (SLMB)

The Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB) program helps individuals with limited income and resources pay for their Medicare Part B premiums. If you qualify, the government covers your Part B costs, reducing your out-of-pocket expenses for healthcare coverage. Eligibility depends on income and resource levels, and the program is designed to assist those who may struggle to afford Medicare’s standard premiums. SLMB does not cover other costs like deductibles or copayments, but it effectively lowers the financial barrier for essential medical coverage.
