Low-Income Subsidy (Extra Help) Can Reduce Drug Costs Significantly Medicare's Extra Help program — also called the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) — helps beneficiaries with limited income and resources pay for Part D drug coverage. If your income and assets are below certain thresholds, you may qualify for reduced or no Part D premiums and copays. Many eligible beneficiaries don't apply because they don't know about it.
Annual Enrollment Is Not Automatic — You Need to Review If you don't actively review your Medicare plan during Annual Enrollment (October 15 – December 7), you're automatically re-enrolled in your current plan — even if it has changed its formulary, premiums, or network. Plans change every year. Staying informed is the only way to know whether staying or switching makes more sense.
Research at Your Own Pace The Medicare.gov Plan Finder is free and available 24/7. Enter ZIP 19023, your current medications, and your preferred providers. It will show you every available plan and estimate your annual costs under each. We're here if you want to talk through what you find.
