Senior Alert!
EPIC
Means Big Savings for Seniors
Assemblymember
Vivian E. Cook



Assemblymember Cook Dear Friend,

I wanted to remind you of changes made to New York State’s Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC) program which took effect a few years ago making thousands more senior citizens eligible for big savings on their prescription drugs.

This expansion was the result of the Assembly’s success in increasing income eligibility, decreasing co-pays and enrollment fees and simplifying the EPIC program - taking some of the financial burdens of the high costs of prescription drugs off seniors with fixed incomes.

This brochure explains how the enhanced EPIC plan works. If you have further questions about eligibility requirements or would like to apply for EPIC, please contact my office or one of the toll-free hotlines listed in this brochure.

Sincerely,
signature Vivian E. Cook
Member of Assembly
