Extra Help
Extra Help is a federal program designed to assist with out-of-pocket costs for Medicare prescription drug coverage, with eligibility based on income and assets. This program covers your Part D premium and reduces prescription drug costs, also allowing greater flexibility in plan changes and eliminating late enrollment penalties. It's important to remember that Extra Help does not replace the need for a Part D plan.
