Medicare Extra Help, also known as the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS), is a program that assists individuals with limited income and resources in paying for their Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D). It helps cover costs such as premiums, deductibles, and copayments, making medications more affordable for eligible beneficiaries. Some people qualify automatically for Extra Help, while others need to apply.
