If you have qualified for additional assistance for your Medicare
prescription drug plan costs, the amount of your premium and your cost at
the pharmacy will be less; see the charts below.
Once you have enrolled in the
PriorityMedicareRx
SM plan
for 2007, Medicare will tell us how much assistance you are receiving, and
we will send you information on the amount you will pay. Your Medicare Part
D drug plan premium may be reduced by 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%. You will still
be responsible for paying any Medicare Part B premium.
