Medicare costs can add up quickly.

Many people with Medicare are surprised to learn that there may be programs available to help with Medicare premiums, deductibles, copays, and prescription drug costs.

Even if you've looked into assistance before, it's worth checking again. Some income and assets may not count toward eligibility, and many people qualify when they didn't think they would.

SHIP is here to support you. If Medicare costs are a concern, don't assume you won't qualify for help. Reach out to your local SHIP to learn about programs that may help lower your Medicare costs.

More information and instructions on how to contact your local SHIP can be found in the comments below.

💬 Have you heard of Medicare Savings Programs or Extra Help before?
