Qualified Medicare Beneficiary is a Medicaid program for persons with little or no income/assets. Medicaid pays the QMB's co-payments and deductibles. Medicare A & B premiums are usually deducted from the QMB's SSA benefits.
Medicare Advantage Plans (MAP) DO NOT hold the Part B Deductions! Medicare holds the Part B Deductions; this is the payment that everyone who has Medicare Part B have to pay. One of the qualifications to be able to obtain a MAP is to continuously pay the Part B Deduction, either from Social Security or Bank accounts.
The Medicare Part B deductible for 2009 is $135.00. After you meet the $135.00 deductible, you will pay 20% of the bill unless you have a Medicare Supplement that pays the 20% for you. Some Medicare Supplements pay the $135.00 for you. If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) your "copay" will vary between the type of plan, the company that offers it, and whether or not the doctor is a family doctor or a specialist. If you have one of these plans, usually a PPO or HMO, you don't pay the Medicare Part B deductible of $135.00
