Extra Help with Prescription Drug Costs
| People with limited incomes may qualify for extra help to pay for their prescription drug costs. If eligible, Medicare could pay for 75 percent of drug costs including monthly prescription drug premiums, annual deductibles and coinsurance. Additionally, those who qualify will not be subject to the coverage gap or a late enrollment penalty. Many people are eligible for these savings and don’t even know it. For more information about this extra help, contact: |  |
- 1-800-Medicare or TTY/TDD users call 1-877-486-2048 (24 hours a day/seven days a week)
- Your state Medicaid office
- The social Security Administration at 1-800-722-1213 or TTY/TDD users call 1-800-325-0778 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday.
If you received extra help in 2009, you may be required to apply for recertification.
