State Pharmacy Assistance Programs
State Pharmacy Assistance Programs - are state-funded programs that provide low-income and medically needy senior citizens and individuals with disabilities financial assistance for prescription drugs. As noted by Medicare:
"The law allows State Pharmacy Assistance Programs to "wrap around" the Medicare benefit to fill gaps in coverage. As a result, State Pharmacy Assistance Programs will be able to provide the same or better coverage for the beneficiaries who receive coverage through state programs now, at a lower cost per beneficiary for the states because of the availability of the Medicare drug benefit."
A number of states are offering various programs that may help with monthly Medicare Part D plan premiums or even medication co-payments, which will ultimately be considered as a portion of the TrOOP or True out of Pocket expenses that you pay.
