Description: 

A new plan to help low-income elderly in Massachusetts with the cost of prescription drugs started in April of this year. This plan covers all premiums and deductibles for people age 65 or older who are at or below 188% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). People between 188% and 200% of the FPL are eligible for coverage, but will pay premiums and deductibles, based on their income.
