6. Payments

Most people on Medicare will pay part of the cost of their Medicare prescription drug coverage.

Just as in Original Medicare, you are responsible for part of the cost of your prescription
drugs. This is sometimes called cost-sharing.

There are four ways that Medicare drug plans may ask you to pay your share:

	Premium
	Deductible
	Copay
	Coinsurance

If you have a lower income, you may qualify for extra help in paying for your prescription drugs. See our Money Saving Tips for more information.
