Extra Help is a program to help people with limited income and resources pay for their prescription drugs. It is also known as the “Low-income subsidy” or LIS. There is a page of requirements in your Medicare and You book. The income and resource limits change every year. The 2012 yearly income limit for an individual was $13,070 ($26,120 for a married couple) If you qualify, part or all of your Part D premium will be paid for, your co-pays will be decreased, and you will not have the Part-D donut hole.
