Medicare’s Extra Help Program Can Help Lower Drug Costs

"Extra Help" is a Medicare program to help people with limited income pay their Medicare Part D premiums, deductibles, copays and other costs. Medicare can help with these costs. 

If you qualify for the Extra Help program, you:

  • Will get a Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) rider. This tells you how much help you'll get from Medicare.
  • Get the same coverage as someone on your plan who is not getting Extra Help.
  • Must keep paying your Medicare Part B premium and follow your plan details.

Download the Low Income Premium Subsidy form. Go to our Forms and Documents page, then choose Medicare Advantage Dual Care (HMO SNP) Plan Documents.
