Outline
The Alabama 211 form is a vital resource for individuals seeking assistance with Medicare Savings Programs. This application specifically addresses the needs of those who require help with Medicare premiums and deductibles, rather than applying for full Medicaid coverage. It is essential to understand that the Medicaid drug coverage associated with these programs is limited to medications covered under Medicare Part D, and does not extend to any excluded drugs. Completing the form requires careful attention to detail; applicants must provide accurate information, including a copy of their Medicare card, Social Security card, and verification of monthly income. Additionally, signing and mailing the application to the appropriate District Office is a critical step in the process. It’s important to note that federal and state laws impose serious penalties for any false statements or omissions made in the application. Thus, applicants should approach this process with honesty and diligence, ensuring that all required information is complete and accurate to avoid denial of benefits.

for the purpose of determining my eligibility for Medicaid benefi ts. I authorize this release form to be in effect for

and/or to see if I qualify for assistance or to see if I have insurance.
* If I am approved for Medicaid, I assign all insurance and medical support benefi ts to Medicaid. If Medicaid pays
my bills, then my insurance or other benefi ts (such as lawsuit settlements) must be used to pay Medicaid back. I
agree to help and cooperate with Medicaid in identifying and collecting this money, or I may lose my Medicaid
benefi ts. I give permission for my insurance company, employer, and others to give needed information to Medicaid
in order to administer the Medicaid program.

arrangements, family size, income or resources.
