About Prescription Advantage

Prescription Advantage is a state sponsored program that provides prescription assistance for Massachusetts residents aged 65+.  For those with Medicare or other prescription insurance, Prescription Advantage offers non-financial benefits, like a Special Enrollment Period.  For those not eligible for Medicare, Prescription Advantage provides a cost-reimbursement program to help cover the cost of their prescriptions. 

Check Eligibility

Prescription Advantage is available to Massachusetts residents who are:

  • Age 65 or older, eligible for Medicare, and have a gross annual household income less than 500% of the Federal Poverty Level, or
  • 65 years of age or older and not eligible for Medicare, or
  • Under age 65, work no more than 40 hours per month, meet MassHealth's CommonHealth disability guidelines, and have a gross annual household income at or below 188% of the Federal Poverty Level.
  • Not MassHealth or CommonHealth members*

*In some cases, individuals receiving assistance from MassHealth to pay for Medicare Part A and/or Part B premiums, deductibles, and co-payments may still be eligible for Prescription Advantage.
