Assistance Available from Medicare
Martin's Point Generations Advantage Prime, Select, Access, and Value Plus plan premiums include coverage for both medical services and Part D Prescription Drug coverage.
Please see the Evidence Of Coverage for Prime, Select, Access, and Value Plus Ch. 6, Section 6.1 for more details.
Medicare offers financial assistance (called “Extra Help”) to help pay for Medicare Part D Prescription Drug plan costs. If you qualify, you may pay a lower plan premium and/or lower drug copays.
The amount of Extra Help you get will determine your total monthly plan premium and your covered drug costs as a member of our plan.
Please note Extra Help amounts are determined by each individual state and county. Extra Help for plan premium payments are not applicable to plans with a $0 plan premium.
Extra Help Paying Drug Costs
Extra Help from Medicare may also help lower the costs you pay when you get Part D Prescription Drugs at the pharmacy. If you qualify for this Extra Help, the amount you pay will vary based on your income. There are three levels of cost.
The State will notify you what your Extra Help level of cost will be. The table below lists what your prescription cost share will be if you get Extra Help.
