Senior Listening: News for Senior Citizens
Extra Help is a program to help people with limited income and resources pay Medicare prescription drug program costs, like premiums, deductibles, and coinsurance. If you get Extra Help but you're not sure if you're paying the right amount, call your drug plan. Your plan may ask you to give information to help them check the level of Extra Help you should get.
Documentation
Examples of documents you can send your plan include:
• A purple notice from Medicare that says you automatically qualify for Extra Help.
• A yellow automatic enrollment notice from Medicare.
• An Extra Help "Notice of Award" from Social Security.
• An orange notice from Medicare that says your copayment amount will change next year.
• If you have Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you can use your award letter from Social Security as confirmation that you have SSI.
You can also give your plan any of the documents listed below. Your plan must accept any of these documents as proof that you qualify for Extra Help. If you don't have or can't find any of these documents, ask your plan for help.
Proof you have Medicaid and live in an institution or get home and community-based services
• A bill from an institution (like a nursing home) or, a copy of a state document showing Medicaid paid for your stay for at least a month.
• A print-out from your state's Medicaid system showing you lived in the institution for at least a month.
• A document from your state that shows you have Medicaid and are getting home- and community-based services.
Once you give your plan this information, you should:
• Make sure you pay no more than the LIS drug coverage cost limit. In 2021, prescription costs are no more than $3.70 for each generic/$9.20 for each brand-name covered drug for most people enrolled in the program.
• Your local SHIP counselor is also available to help you fill out an application for the Extra Help/Low Income Subsidy. Call 1-800-551-3191 for more.
