The Medicare Extra Help program, also known as the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS), is designed to assist individuals with limited income and resources by covering some or all of their Medicare prescription drug costs.

If you qualify, you are automatically enrolled in Extra Help, meaning you receive reduced or zero-cost premiums, deductibles, and copayments for your Medicare Part D prescription drug plan. This program ensures that essential medications remain affordable, preventing financial strain due to high drug costs. If you believe you are being charged incorrectly at the pharmacy, you can request a cost adjustment by providing documentation of your eligibility.
