Medicare Prescription Program Still Available For Silver State Seniors

Up To $450 In Drug Savings Still Available

Nevada's low-income senior citizens can still apply for a limited prescription drug discount card. According to federal officials, even though the deadline for senior citizens to apply for the full $600 Medicare drug credit is passed, drug savings options are still available.

"Even though the March Medicare deadline has past, drug savings for seniors are still available," according to Larry Krutchik, Regional Director of Medicate Today. Medicate Today is a non-profit, public advocacy group made up of about 100 national organizations representing seniors, health care providers, employers, and others.

Seniors interested in taking part in the prescription drug savings program should contact their health plan provider, or call Medicare at 1-800-633-4227.
