Health Coverage
Enrolling in Marketplace or Medicaid Coverage
Everyone needs quality and affordable healthcare, especially people with lung cancer and chronic lung diseases like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary fibrosis.
Have you recently lost Medicaid coverage? If you believe you are still eligible, follow up with your Medicaid program and return your renewal form as soon as possible if you haven’t already. If you are no longer eligible for Medicaid, you may be eligible for coverage with low premiums through the Health Care Marketplace. This coverage is affordable; 4 out of 5 enrollees can find plans that cost less than $10 a month. For more information about recent changes in Medicaid coverage, please visit Lung.org/healthcare.
Medicare Coverage & Costs
2025 is an exciting year for the Medicare program as a number of changes to coverage and costs will take effect. These changes, like the $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs in Medicare Part D, were implemented to protect patients. It is even more important to shop around during the Medicare Open Enrollment Period to find a drug plan that best fits your needs. Even if you are happy with your current Medicare coverage, keep in mind that Medicare Advantage and Medicare supplemental health and drug plans can make changes each year (things like cost, coverage, and what providers and pharmacies are in their networks) so it’s always best to check each year which plan is best for you.
