What are Medicare Savings Programs?

Medicare Savings Programs

are state-based programs to help ease some of the burdens of out-of-pocket costs associated with Medicare. If you qualify for an MSP in Kansas, you don't have to worry about premiums, deductibles, and co-pays.
People can join Medicare Savings Programs based on their monthly income and resources (money in bank accounts plus some investments). In Kansas, there are three Medicare Savings programs that we will outline below. But first, let’s talk through some of the steps to apply for MSPs in Kansas.

How to apply for Medicare Savings Programs

You can apply for Medicare Savings Programs in Kansas at the KanCare website: 
You can also call the following number to receive a paper version of the application if you prefer,
1-800-792-4884. Although the paper application might be subjected to more delays through snail mail.
Through the application process, you will be expected to list your sources of income and investments to see if you qualify for MSPs. 
The sources of income might include the following:

  • Alimony
The resources they might ask you to list include:
