AFFORDABLE
Did you know there are programs that can help make your Medicare prescriptions more affordable?

No one should have to choose between groceries and prescriptions. If you're struggling with Part D drug costs, here are four ways to save:

Extra Help: A federal program that helps pay your Part D premiums and lowers your drug costs. You may also qualify to change plans more often and have any late enrollment penalties waived. Income and asset limits apply.

Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs): State programs that help cover Medicare costs like premiums and cost-sharing for people with limited income and savings. If you qualify, your Part B premium will no longer be deducted from your Social Security check.

State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs (SPAPs): Many states offer additional help paying for Part D premiums, deductibles, or copayments. Every state's program is different, so check what's available where you live.

Choosing the Right Plan: Picking the Part D plan that best matches your specific medications can make a big difference in what you pay. Plans vary in premiums, deductibles, and drug costs. Comparing options during Open Enrollment is one of the smartest moves you can make.

Not sure where to start? Your local Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas (SHICK) offers FREE, unbiased, one-on-one counseling to help you find and enroll in the programs you qualify for.

TEST KITS
Be on the lookout for test kits! DNA, genetic, neurological, and even cancer test kits are being sent to Medicare beneficiaries without ever asking for them. If you get a test kit delivered to you, report it to the SMP by calling 800.860.5260! This could be scam.

Hereditary Cancer Tests
Scammers are offering Medicare beneficiaries cheek swabs for genetic testing that they claim will prevent cancer. This is really to get your Medicare number to bill for expensive genetic tests. Ever wonder what preventative services Medicare covers?

Contact your local SHICK counselor at 316.660.0126 or 800.860.5260 to speak to someone today!
