What if I can't afford Part D coverage?
If you have limited income and assets (i.e. savings and stocks), you may
qualify for "extra help" with the cost of the
Monthly Premium,
Annual Deductible and/or the Co-Payments.
NOTE:
In order to receive "extra help," you MUST APPLY for it,
UNLESS you are elderly or disabled AND enrolled in:
- Medicare and Medicaid (MaineCare), OR
- Medicare and one of the three Medicare Savings Programs, also known
as QMB, SLMB, or QI, OR

There are four categories of individuals and/or couples who qualify for "extra
help," but must apply to receive it. More on
