Apply for Medicare Rx Extra Help...
If you are one of millions of people with Medicare who have limited income and resources, apply now for Extra Help through Medicare’s Prescription Drug Coverage. At the same time, you can also start an application for the Medicare Savings Programs and find out if you qualify for other valuable benefits programs.
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.
Even if you weren't eligible before, 2010 is the time to check again - some of the Extra Help rules have changed.

Cargivers
There only four kinds of people in the world...
those who have been caregivers,
those who currently are caregivers,
those who will be caregivers
and those who need caregivers.”
