Do You Need Help Paying Prescription Drug Costs?

Medicare offers prescription drug coverage for all people with Medicare. If you have Medicare and a limited income, you may also qualify for extra help with paying your prescription drug costs.

Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage will:

• Be available to all people with Medicare.
• Help people with Medicare pay for the prescriptions that they need.
• Provide low-cost drug coverage for those with limited income and assets.
• Pay for both brand name and generic drugs.
• Allow people with Medicare to choose between at least two Medicare prescription drug plans.
• Allow convenient access to local pharmacies.

Medicare will contract with private companies to provide prescription drug benefits. To receive Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage, you must select and enroll in a plan. Enrollment in a plan is voluntary.
