The Biden-Harris Administration announced the June 12, 2023, release of a new fact sheet about new tools that can lower prescription drug costs for low-income older adults and people with disabilities.
Included in the fact sheet is an announcement of ACL’s targeted efforts to reach, screen, and enroll people in the Extra Help program. ACL’s efforts will specifically focus on Americans living in rural and underserved communities. These efforts will leverage data made available by CMS and involve ongoing technical assistance to grantees in the Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) program, the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), and other ACL grantees working with communities.
