Medicare : Extra Help
Medicare offers Extra Help to people with low incomes and limited assets. If you qualify, you'll get help with your drug costs. Many people are eligible for these savings and don't even know it. If you qualify for Extra Help, you can save even more. In fact, if you’re on a limited income, you may qualify for reduced Part D costs including premiums, deductibles and co-pays.
