I usually dont deal with the Medicaid market, but every now and then I'll throw these people a bone and help them...
I have someone who is T65 november. and the $104/mo pt b premium would eat up about 20% of her monthly income. So Medicaid/medicare obviously is a good choice for her. But looking at the website, it looks like to qualify for the Medicare savings program, she would have to be 65. Does this mean she has to wait until November to apply? Or can we apply now so it starts in November with her Medicare?
