HELP AVAILABLE TO REDUCE PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS
PASSAGES’ Health Insurance Counseling & Advocacy Program (HICAP) is offering free help to reduce prescription drug costs. Anyone who has a Medicare prescription drug plan and has limited income and resources can apply for “extra help” to pay for premiums, annual deductibles and prescription drug co-payments.
The “extra help,” also known as Low Income Subsidy, is a benefit offered by the Social Security Administration only to people with Medicare who have limited income and resources, and do not have full Medi-Cal.
