Can Medicare recipients use Family Health Plus to supplement their health care?
People who have Medicare are not eligible for Family Health Plus because they already have insurance. Also, people who are age 65 or over do not qualify for Family Health Plus. If persons age 65 and over need prescription drug coverage, New York State’s Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC) program may be able to help. EPIC’s toll free number is 1-800-332-3742.
