If inflation and rising prices are impacting your ability to pay for your prescription drugs, you are not alone. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify through the Low Income Subsidy (LIS), also known as Extra Help.

Medicare has announced eligibility guidance for the Extra Help program, which helps individuals with their prescription drug costs. Medicare’s Low Income Subsidy (LIS) limits determine what level of support seniors can receive. Budgets are getting tighter with increased prices and inflation, and the Extra Help program can be a difference-maker for some of your clients. Understanding these limits is an important first step in the process.
