Medicare Improvements for Patients & Providers Act (MIPPA)

Many Medicare recipients are not aware that programs exist to reduce expenses: Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Program , Low-Income Subsidy and Medicare Savings Program.

The MIPPA program relies on volunteers who are active in their local communities to conduct outreach and provide education about these programs that may help us reduce Medicare costs. MIPPA staff and volunteers work to:

• Engage Host Agencies who distribute eligibility information to the community
• Increase awareness of Medicare Part D and Medicare Disease Prevention and Wellness benefits through local outreach efforts
• Refer eligible people to the State Health Insurance Benefits Advisers (SHIBA) to assist with signing up for benefits 

To learn more, contact a MIPPA Coordinator nearest to you.
