Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

Medicare & Medicaid · Texas · Free

CMS — federal agency that runs Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP. Policy and updates. Most relevant for low-income seniors who may qualify for Extra Help, QMB, SLMB, or QI without realizing it. Drop-in help is available at most local offices; bringing the Medicare card and a list of prescriptions makes the visit faster. Many users come away with a $40–200/month reduction in Part D drug costs they didn't know they qualified for. Open at no cost to Texas seniors and the families supporting them.
