Dual Enrollment Explained

---

Individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid are known as dual-eligible beneficiaries. Medicare generally provides their primary health coverage, while Medicaid may provide additional assistance with Medicare premiums, deductibles, copayments, and other healthcare services. The level of Medicaid assistance varies based on eligibility and may include full Medicaid benefits or partial assistance through a Medicare Savings Program (MSP). Understanding these eligibility levels can help beneficiaries identify the Medicare coverage options and assistance programs available to them.
