Plain-language overview

Extra Help, also called LIS, is related to help with Medicare prescription drug costs for people who meet eligibility rules. It is important to verify status through official channels and avoid assuming qualification.

A local resource can help you understand what questions to ask, what notices to look for, and how prescription coverage may interact with other programs.
