Extra Help, also called the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS),
is a program from Medicare that helps people with
limited income and resources pay for their prescription
drug costs.
If you qualify, Extra Help can:
Lower your monthly Part D premium
Reduce or eliminate your annual deductible
Significantly lower copays for your medications
Protect you from the Donut Hole (coverage gap)
Some people are automatically enrolled (for example,
those with Medicaid or receiving Supplemental Security Income), but you can also apply directly if you think you
may qualify.
Do I Qualify?
You may qualify if your monthly income and savings fall below certain limits. These limits can change yearly,
and help is available even if you don’t qualify for
Medicaid.
