Medicare Savings Program Outreach Materials and Resources Now Available!
Updated Medicare Savings Program (MSP) resources are now available on the Avisery by AgeOptions website! To access these resources, visit Avisery's Educational Resources page and scroll to the section labeled “Resources on the Medicare Savings Program”.
Resources include materials to support MSP outreach to consumers, as well as educational materials for professionals who are new to working with the MSPs or in need of a refresher. MSPs are valuable benefit assistance programs that can assist Medicare beneficiaries with limited incomes and assets to pay for Medicare cost sharing and/or premiums.
Consumer resources include:
MSP flyers that can be used at outreach events like community presentations, health fairs, or congregate dining sites. The flyers are available in English, Spanish, and Polish and include a customizable section where you can add your organization’s name, logo, and contact information
an MSP Outreach Word Search that can be used as an engaging activity to educate beneficiaries about MSP
Educational materials for professionals include:
an MSP resource sheet for professionals that explains the types of MSPs, current income and asset limits
a step-by-step guide to completing an online ABE MSP application in Illinois
information about the Avisery Legal Aid MSP Referral Pathway that can assist beneficiaries with MSP-related issues and that types of referrals currently being accepted (ex., beneficiaries who were approved for MSP, but continue to have the Medicare Part B premium deducted from their Social Security benefit 60 days after receiving a DHS approval notice)
