I am on Medi-Cal and have $10,830 or less in yearly countable income ($14,570 if you are a couple).
How to Enroll: You will automatically get a Low Income Subsidy unless you are on the Medically Needy Medi-Cal (also known as Share of Cost Medi-Cal) program.
The Subsidy:
You will not have to pay any monthly premiums to be enrolled in a benchmark plan.
You will not have to pay a deductible before you get help paying for drugs.
There will not be any gap where Medicare will not help you pay for drugs.
You will have to pay $1.10 for every generic drug prescription and $3.20 for every brand-name prescription you purchase.
