The answer
Can I get help paying my Part B premium?
Yes, you may be able to get help paying your Part B (medical) monthly premium through a Medicare Savings Program.
These are state-run programs for people with limited income and resources, and depending on which one you qualify for, the program can pay your Part B premium in full, and sometimes your deductibles and other cost sharing too. The Part B premium is $202.90 per month in 2026 for most people, so this help can make a real difference in your budget. You apply through your state Medicaid office, and qualifying is based on income and savings, not health. Income limits change each year, so check even if you did not qualify before. To see whether you qualify and get help applying, reach out to a licensed Goodsurance advisor at 1-888-301-8091 (TTY 711), Mon to Fri 8 am to 5 pm PT.
