Medicaid & Medicare Help


Low-income Medicaid recipients can get help
Extra help is available for Medicare recipients living on a limited income, who may qualify for as much as $5,000 in annual assistance to help with Medicare expenses.
Income-eligible seniors and people with disabilities who are enrolled in Medicare can save at least $1,000 on health-care expenses by enrolling in a Medicare Savings Program, which will cover the Medicare Part B premium, a savings of $104.90 per month, for qualified people. They may also qualify for an average annual savings of $3,900 on Medicare Part D premiums and prescriptions with a low income subsidy. In addition to discounts on brand-name and generic medications, there are no co-pays or deductibles for annual wellness visits and personalized prevention plan services.
For more information, contact the Atlantic County Aging and Disability Resource Center at 888-426-9243, ext. 4315, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday or see aclink.org/intergenerational.
