    Eligible Individuals Enrolled in Medicare Savings Programs (MSP)

    Metadata Updated: August 23, 2025

    The datasets include the monthly count of individuals who are enrolled in Medicare Savings Programs (MSP), by aid code and county. The counts reflect the total number of eligible individuals enrolled during the month. MSP help individuals with limited income and resources pay for some of the out-of-pocket costs for Medicare, including Medicare Part A and Part B premiums, deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. There are four Medicare Savings Programs: Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB), Specified Low Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB), Qualifying Individual (QI), and Qualified Working Disabled Individual (QWDI). Individuals who are eligible for QMB, SLMB, and QI also automatically qualify for the Low Income Subsidy (or “Extra Help”) program, which helps lower the cost of prescription drugs. Counties and aid codes with zero individuals enrolled during a reporting period are not included in the dataset.
