Medicare/Medicaid Assistance Program (MMAP):

Trained volunteers assist people age 60 and older with questions regarding Medicare, Medicaid, supplemental insurance, and patient rights and appeals.  In 2005 the major area of assistance is providing information on the Medicare prescription program (Part D) and answering supplemental insurance questions.  Medicare Part D is scheduled to begin January 1, 2006.

 

Elder Prescription Insurance Coverage (EPIC): 

EPIC is a program of the State of Michigan to provide prescription coverage to seniors who are over income for Medicaid but are on a limited income and who have no other prescription coverage.  EPIC will end as of December 31, 2005, due to the addition of Part D (prescription coverage) to Medicare.
