I am on Medi-Cal and have $10,400 or less in yearly countable income ($14,000 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 $1.05 for every generic drug prescription and $3.10 for every brand-name prescription you purchase.
