Requesting Financial Help

One in five retired individuals qualifies for financial help with premiums and out-of-pocket costs.

• The Medicare Savings Program can help pay for Premiums and Out of Pocket Medical Costs. This program is managed by the State of Maine
• Extra Help with Prescription Drugs can help reduce your pharmacy costs. This program is managed by the U.S. Government. 
• In 2022, you may qualify if you have up to $20k in yearly income ($28k for a married couple) AND up to $50k in cash or investments ($75k for a married couple).   
• Apply online no more than three months before your Part B Start Date: https://www.ssa.gov/extrahelp and ask that your application be shared with the State of Maine. One application can be used for both MSP and Extra Help.
