They must meet certain income and resource requirements and be entitled to Medicare Part A and/or Part B and one of the following Medicaid Programs:
• Full Medicaid; or
• Special Need Plans, which include the following four programs:
○ Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB) Program;
○ Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB) Program;
○ Qualifying Individual (QI) Program; and
○ Qualified Disabled Working Individual (QDWI) Program.

Prohibited Billing
Under Section 1902(n)(3)(B) of the Social Security Act, as modified by Section 4714 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, Medicare and Medicaid payments you receive for furnishing services to a QMB are considered payments in full. You may not balance bill QMBs for any Medicare cost sharing (including deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments) for these services. You are subject to sanctions if you bill a QMB for amounts above the Medicare and Medicaid payments (even when Medicaid pays nothing).
We could only bill patient if they SLMB plan.
