Did You Know: LINET

LINET stands for the Limited Income Newly Eligible Transition Program. It's a Medicare initiative designed to provide immediate, temporary prescription drug coverage for individuals who qualify for Medicare Part D but do not yet have prescription drug coverage.

Here are some key points about LINET:

• Eligibility: It is available to low-income Medicare beneficiaries who qualify for Medicaid or the Part D Low Income Subsidy (LIS), also known as "Extra Help". 
• Coverage: LINET offers temporary coverage, usually for 1 to 2 months, allowing beneficiaries time to choose a Medicare Part D plan that best fits their needs.
• Administration: The program is administered by Humana.
• Retroactive Coverage: LINET can provide retroactive coverage for out-of-pocket expenses during eligible periods.
