This program will pay the premiums, deductibles and co-insurance payments of the Medicare Program for older and disabled individuals who are financially eligible.  The current QMB eligibility caps for 2008 are: $867/month income and $4,000 in assets for an individual; and $1,167/ month income and $6,000 in assets for a couple.  QMB-eligible beneficiaries must go to medical care providers who participate in the Medical Assistance Program.  In addition to the income and assets stated, an individual or couple may have a house, car, and a burial plan (with a value not to exceed $1,500) and still be eligible for the QMB Program.
