Extra Help

Extra Help, also known as the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) program, is a federal program that provides financial assistance to help Medicare beneficiaries with limited income and resources afford prescription drug coverage. Eligible individuals may receive assistance with premiums, deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance associated with Medicare Part D prescription drug plans. The program aims to ensure that beneficiaries have access to affordable medications necessary for managing their health conditions. Eligibility for Extra Help is based on income and resources, and individuals must apply through the Social Security Administration to determine if they qualify for assistance.
