Low Income Subsidy Information
If you qualify for extra help, you pay $0 or a reduced monthly premium.  If you continue to qualify for the same amount of extra help next year, the table below tells how much your will pay for a monthly premium. (This does not include any Medicare Part B premium you may have to pay.)

You may receive (or may have received) a letter from Medicare or the Social Security Administration (SSA) about your eligibility for extra help in 2008.  Read this important information carefully. (If you don’t know what level of extra help you qualify for, you can call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) for this information.  TTY/TDD users should call 1-877-486-2048.  They are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.)

As an enhanced benefit, OSF Care Advantage or Care Preferred offers additional coverage on some prescription drugs not normally covered in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan.  If you receive extra help from Medicare in paying for your drugs, you will NOT receive this extra help for these particular drugs.

The premiums listed below are for both medical and prescription drug benefits.
