Premium
Choices Select has a $90.60 monthly plan premium. A portion of this premium is for your prescription drug coverage, and a portion is for your medical coverage.
Medicare provides Extra Help to pay prescription drug costs for people who have limited income and resources. Extra Help is also called the “low-income subsidy” or LIS. People whose yearly income and resources are below certain limits can qualify for this help.
If you qualify, you get help paying for any Medicare drug plan’s monthly premium, yearly deductible and prescription copays. This Extra Help also counts toward your out-of-pocket costs that you pay for your prescription drugs.
People with limited income and resources may qualify for Extra Help. Some people automatically qualify for Extra Help and don’t need to apply. Medicare mails a letter to people who automatically qualify for Extra Help. If you think you may qualify for Extra Help, you may call the Peoples Health Member Services department Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., toll-free at (800) 631-8443, ext. 2. Telephone device for the hearing impaired users may call (888) 631-9979.
