Do you have Medicare and limited income and resources?

If you have Medicare and have a limited income and resources, you may be able to get Extra Help paying for your Medicare prescription drug costs. Your income must be less than $16,245 if single and $21,855 if married and you must have resources less than $12,510 if single and $25,010 if married (Resource limits include a $1,500 burial allowance (for singles) and a $3,000 burial allowance (for couples)). If you qualify, you will have low or no deductible, low or no premiums, no coverage gap (also called the "doughnut hole"), and will pay much less for your prescriptions.

Complete our online Medicare Rx Extra Help application to see if you might be eligible for this valuable benefit. At the same time, you can start the application process for the Medicare Savings Programs (a valuable benefit of at least $96.40 per month) and also find out if you might be eligible for other benefit programs.
