Assemblyman Fitzpatrick Encourages Seniors to Apply for EPIC
Save Money on Prescription Drugs:
-
Thanks to Assemblyman Fitzpatrick, the Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC)
program is the leading program in the nation in helping seniors pay for prescription drugs.
-
If you’re a New York state resident 65 or older with an annual income of $35,000 or less if single and
$50,000 or less for couples, and not receiving full Medicaid benefits, you’re eligible for EPIC.
-
Enrollees pay an annual fee or meet an annual deductible, then pay only a co-payment for each prescription.
Nearly all prescription drugs are covered, both brand name and generic.
-
Assemblyman Fitzpatrick recommends using EPIC and Medicare Part D together so seniors pay
the lowest co-payment possible and receive the prescription drugs they need.
For additional information about EPIC, please call the EPIC Helpline toll-free at (800) 332-3742 or
Assemblyman Michael Fitzpatrick at (631) 724-2929.
