Seniors: Take Advantage of Prescription Help

The following was submitted by the North Andover Senior Center.

Even with insurance, prescription drugs can still be unaffordable!

High co-payments and gaps in coverage can make paying for prescription drugs very difficult.  This is where Prescription Advantage can help.

Prescription Advantage is a state-sponsored pharmacy assistance program available to Massachusetts residents age 65 and over and under 65 with disabilities. Prescription Advantage does not replace your insurance; it supplements your coverage to help lower your out-of-pocket costs.
