Burlington County, BCC teaming up to help seniors enroll in Medicare

The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of Burlington County, supported in part by Burlington County College, is helping eligible Medicare recipients living on a limited income understand and enroll in a Medicare Savings Program (MSP). Those who qualify may receive as much as $5,000 in annual assistance to help with Medicare expenses.

“Times are tough for many people, especially those living on fixed or limited incomes. I strongly encourage Medicare beneficiaries to learn more about these savings opportunities and qualifications,” said Karen Bennett, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program Director.

By enrolling in a MSP, income-eligible seniors and individuals with disabilities who are enrolled in Medicare can save a minimum of $1,000 on healthcare expenses. MSP covers the Medicare Part B premium, a savings of $104.90 per month, for qualified individuals.

Recipients may also qualify for an average annual savings of $3,900 on Medicare Part D premiums and prescriptions with a low income subsidy. In addition to discounts on brand name and generic medications, there are no co-pays or deductibles for annual wellness visits and personalized prevention plan services.

For more information, please contact the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of Burlington County at (609) 894–9311, ext. 1051 or email [email protected].
