Addabbo Helps Glendale Seniors Understand January 2013 Changes to Epic

From August through October, the senator sponsored a series of lectures at senior centers in his district covering the changes to New York’s Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC) prescription-drug program, now that the 2012-13 state budget restored $30.6 million, that will affect EPIC members starting January 1, 2013. This will reinstate co-payment assistance for almost 300,000 EPIC enrollees, thereby returning the EPIC program to two plans again.  Previous EPIC lectures were given in Howard Beach, Maspeth, Ridgewood and Middle Village.

For more information, call Addabbo’s two district offices at Howard Beach (718-738-1111) and Middle Village (718-497-1630).
