Making Coverage More Affordable for America’s Seniors
As part of the Affordable Care Act, in the coming weeks, many Medicare recipients across the country will begin receiving a tax-free $250 rebate check to help pay for prescription drug costs. This important benefit is a first step toward closing the Medicare “donut hole” and making coverage more affordable for Seniors.
If you or someone you know is eligible to receive this rebate check, it is important to know this basic fact: Medicare will automatically send a check that’s in your name. You don’t need to fill out a form or make any phone calls to receive it. You also don’t need to provide personal information like your bank account or social security number or do anything else. If someone calls you about the rebate check, don’t give out your personal information as it could be a scam. If you suspect fraud, please call 1-800-MEDICARE to report it.
To learn more about the $250 rebate check, read this new brochure (pdf), or visit www.Medicare.gov.
