MMAP’s Mission

To empower seniors and other people on Medicare to make educated health coverage decisions.

Since 1984, MMAP (Michigan Medicare/Medicaid Assistance Program) has provided free education and personalized assistance to people with Medicare and Medicaid, their families and caregivers.

New Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage

Medicare offers insurance coverage for prescription drugs to all people with Medicare.

All individuals entitled to Medicare Part A and/or enrolled in Medicare Part B can enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Medicare Part D) from November 15^th – December 31^st.

The way the benefit works is Centers for Medicare Services (CMS) contracts with private companies offering prescription drug plans (PDPs). The plans negotiate discounted prices for drugs on behalf of their enrollees. Insurance companies and other appropriate organizations bid to serve as prescription drug plans.

People with Medicare can also receive drug benefits through their other Medicare health plan or Medicare Advantage. Some employers and unions may also provide coverage to people with Medicare.

Medicare prescription drug coverage is helpful, especially for those who currently don’t have coverage for their prescription drugs.

A MMAP trained counselors will work with you in reviewing your prescription drug needs and in assisting you in selecting a Prescription Drug Plan (PDP). Call 1-800-803-7174 to reach a MMAP counselor within your community.

Since this is new, it’s key that people with Medicare understand these important points...

It is very important that all people who have Medicare review the benefits, options and features relating to the Medicare Prescription Drug coverage and make an informed decision concerning enrolling in a plan.

A person must enroll in a plan (PDP) to get Medicare prescription drug coverage.

Be aware that help understanding Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage and other aspects of Medicare are free. Always be careful to whom you give your personal information. When protecting your identity the best motto to follow is

“When in doubt...Don’t give it out.”
