Help Pay for Prescription Drugs

Monthly Plan Premium for People who get Extra Help from Medicare to Help Pay for their Prescription Drug Cost

If you get extra help from Medicare to help pay for your Medicare prescription drug plan costs, your monthly plan premium will be lower than what it would be if you did not get extra help from Medicare. The amount of extra help you get will determine your total monthly plan premium as a member of our Plan.

This table shows you what your monthly plan premium will be if you get extra help.

Your level of extra help	Monthly Premium for 2018 Senior Health Plan Platinum*	Monthly Premium for 2018 Senior Health Plan Platinum Plus*	Monthly Premium for 2018 Senior Health Plan Silver Plus*
100%	$12.30	$82.30	$0
75%	$19.80	$89.80	$0
50%	$27.20	$97.20	$0
25%	$34.60	$104.60	$0

*This does not include any Medicare Part B premium you may have to pay. Benefits, limitations, service areas and premiums are subject to change on January 1 of each year.

Senior Health Plan's Platinum, Platinum Plus and Silver Plus premium includes coverage for both medical services and prescription drug coverage.
