Extra Help for prescription costs
Extra Help can reduce Part D costs for people who qualify. Income and resource rules apply. Ask Social Security or Medicare about current eligibility and how to apply.
Medicare Savings Programs
State-run Medicare Savings Programs can help pay Medicare premiums and, for some eligible people, other costs. State rules and individual circumstances matter. Medicaid may also help people who qualify.
Bring the right questions
Ask which program to apply for, which household information is needed, and whether eligibility changes your enrollment options. Current limits can change, so use the official application rather than an old dollar figure from a website.
