If you have limited income and resources, you may qualify for "extra help" with your Medicare prescription drug plan costs. See Extra Help on this website.
Your enrollment in this Plan does not affect Medicare coverage for drugs covered under Medicare Part A or Part B. If you meet Medicare's coverage requirements, your drugs will still be covered under Medicare Part A or Part B even though you are enrolled in Essence. See your Medicare & You Handbook for more information about drugs that are covered by Medicare Part A and Part B.
Note: If you join another Medicare plan, including a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, you will be disenrolled from our plan when your enrollment in the new plan begins.
Disclaimer: The drug costs viewed on this website are estimates and may vary based on the specific quantity, strength, and/or dosage of the medication, the order in which you purchase your prescriptions, and the pharmacy you use.
