Even with Medicare, healthcare is costly.
If you are a low-income Medicare beneficiary or have a disability, the Michigan Medicare Assistance Program (MMAP) may be able to help. MMAP is a free, unbiased resource with counselors who can navigate you to savings.
We can connect you with programs that can help you save on Medicare costs:
- Medicare Part D Low-Income Subsidy which helps pay for the Part D premium and reduces the cost of prescriptions at the pharmacy.
- Medicare Savings Programs which help pay for Medicare Part B.
- Medicare Preventive Services which cover many preventive health services such as yearly wellness visits, vaccinations, screenings and more. These services are available to all Medicare beneficiaries, regardless of income and assets.
