If you have Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage and none of the NYVEPRIA savings options are applicable or affordable for me, what can you do?
If you are insured with Medicare and the NYVEPRIA drug savings options are not applicable to you and still remain unaffordable, then you can check Medicaid eligibility in your state by following the instructions at HealthCare.gov.

People who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid are called ‘dual eligibles’.
If you are denied Medicaid for NYVEPRIA, and you are still unable to afford your copay or co-insurance element (for example if you are in the coverage gap or Donut Hole) then you may be eligible for a federal support program like Low Income Subsidy. To be eligible for Low Income Subsidy, you need to be a resident in one of the 50 States or the District of Columbia. You can check eligibility online at SSA Medicare D Extra Help. You can also call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
