Check Florida eligibility instructions.

How to apply in Florida

Start with Florida Medicare Savings Programs application information. Have your Medicare information and the income and resource records requested by the state. Ask specifically for Medicare Savings Programs when seeking help with premiums or cost sharing.

How long does an application take?

The recorded processing standard is 45 days (Medicaid standard; 90 days if eligibility is based on disability). 42 CFR 435.912(c)(3). This is a processing standard, not a promise of your decision or payment date. Contact the agency handling your application if you need a status update.

If you disagree with a decision

Read your decision notice for the reason, review route and deadline. Use the Florida appeal information to check the procedure. Keep a copy of the notice and your request. Do not wait for a general customer-service reply if the notice sets a filing deadline.

After you apply or receive a decision

Read the approval notice to see which program was granted, what costs it covers and when help starts. A request for premium help is separate from choosing a Medicare health or prescription drug plan.
