Hi, I don't know what income guidelines you are specifically referring to, but I work with income-based medical coverage all the time, and in Maryland, we usually use the federal poverty level income guidelines, which I'm attaching. Just in case people don't know, you can go directly to a drug manufacturer and ask for free meds. Many of the companies have those types of programs to use as a tax write off. I believe there are programs in most states as well, often called MEDBANK. All of them have different income requirements. Good luck with everything!
