Which costs does MSP help pay for eligible individuals?

• A. Part A and/or Part B premiums and cost-sharing.
• B. Only Part B premiums.
• C. Only prescription drug costs.
• D. Only copays for emergency services.

Answer: (A)

Medicare Savings Program (MSP) helps with the costs tied directly to using Medicare. Specifically, it can pay the premiums for Part A and Part B and the cost-sharing amounts you owe for Medicare-covered services—things like deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. That means MSP can reduce or eliminate the out-of-pocket costs tied to Medicare Parts A and B. It does not cover prescription drug costs (Part D) or only emergency-service copays, so the coverage focuses on premiums and the standard cost-sharing tied to Medicare services.
