Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries without other Medicaid

Acronym: QMB

These individuals are entitled to Medicare Part A, have income of 100% Federal poverty level (FPL) or less and resources that do not exceed twice the limit for SSI eligibility, and are not otherwise eligible for full Medicaid. Medicaid pays their Medicare Part A premiums, if any, Medicare Part B premiums, and, to the extent consistent with the Medicaid State plan, Medicare deductibles and coinsurance for Medicare services provided by Medicare providers. Federal Financial Participation (FFP) equals the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP).
