Tool Helps Montana Members Apply for Benefits

Tool Helps Montana Members Apply for Benefits

Are you 50 or older, raising grandchildren or caring for an older relative? Trying to save money on prescription drugs, telephone bills, groceries, utilities, children’s health care or other items and services?

AARP Benefits QuickLINK helps you find and enroll in public and private benefits programs for older residents and families with children. This aid is especially vital in these tough economic times. You can identify and apply for benefits in just 15 minutes.

A state-specific page helps you find fact sheets and application forms for programs like Big Sky Rx that can help you pay for prescription drugs and other health-care costs, including patient assistance programs, and Montana Medicaid and Medicare Savings Programs. In general, most company-sponsored patient assistance programs are designed for people with lower incomes (if single, annual income up to $22,000, or if married, annual income up to $30,000). However, each program has its own set of guidelines and should be contacted directly for eligibility determinations.
