MEDICARE SAVINGS PROGRAMS CAN HELP LOWER YOUR HEALTH CARE COSTS Many people on tight budgets have to make near-impossible choices between buying necessities like food or getting the medical


care and the prescriptions they need. For adults over 65 struggling to pay for medical expenses, Medicare Savings Programs can help. ABOUT MEDICARE SAVINGS PROGRAMS Medicare Savings Programs


are not insurance — they’re programs that pay for certain Medicare expenses. If you qualify, you’re also automatically enrolled in “Extra Help,” a government program that can help you save


on prescription drug costs. These two programs together can save you up to $7,000 a year. Eligibility requirements vary by state. Enrolling in the program is free, and your current plan and


doctors will not change. Best of all, there’s free assistance available through your STATE HEALTH INSURANCE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM to help you explore your options and apply. FIND OUT MORE More


than 10 million Medicare beneficiaries are already enrolled, but many more are eligible. AARP Foundation is working to get the word out to those who may not know about it. Take the first


step today and LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS MONEY-SAVING BENEFIT. Or Call  877-839-2675 to be connected to a Health Insurance Specialist.
