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. The State will notify you what your Extra Help level of cost will be. 


There are three levels of cost:

If you are eligible for Level One Extra Help, your prescription cost shares will be:

  • Generic: $4.90
  • Brand: $12.15

If you are eligible for Level Two Extra Help, your prescription cost shares will be:

  • Generic: $1.60
  • Brand: $4.80

If you are eligible for Level Three Extra Help, your prescription cost shares will be:

  • Generic: $0
  • Brand: $0
Medicare Prescription Payment Plan Option

This new payment option may help you manage your medication costs.

Beginning in 2025, the law known as the Inflation Reduction Act requires all Medicare Prescription Part D plan to offer enrollees the option to pay out-of-pocket prescription drug costs through of capped monthly payments instead of all at once at the pharmacy.
