Prescription costs
No state drug-cost program: help with drug costs in Wyoming
Wyoming does not run a program to help older people in general pay for prescriptions; its only state drug program on Medicare's list is for people living with HIV.
If your income and savings are limited, you may qualify for Extra Help, the federal program that lowers drug costs. It can lower your Medicare drug plan premium, deductible and copays.
Good to know
- The Wyoming Department of Health's Communicable Disease Treatment Program helps people living with HIV. It is not a program for older people in general.
- Extra Help is a Medicare program for people with limited income and savings. It can help pay Part D premiums, deductibles and copays. You can apply through Social Security or get free help from your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP).
- In 2026, Extra Help's limits are $23,940 a year in income and $18,090 in savings for one person, or $32,460 and $36,100 for a married couple. Some people get it automatically.
