Medicare Extra Help for Rx
Help Available for Seniors
to Make Every Dollar Count
In economic times like these, every dollar counts. Estimated to be worth an average of $325 a month, there may be “Extra Help” for prescription drug plan costs especially for senior citizens who have limited income and resources.
Anyone who has Medicare can get Medicare prescription drug coverage. Some with limited incomes and resources are also eligible for “Extra Help” with the costs of monthly premiums, annual deductibles and prescription co-payments for a Medicare plan.
The Buckeye Hills Area Agency on Aging 8 (AAA8) has more details on this “Extra Help” or Low-income Subsidy (LIS) available in Ohio as well as other programs that may assist those who are 60+ and on limited incomes.
To qualify, monthly income must be limited to $1,354 for an individual or $1,821 for a married couple living together.
