What is Part D Low Income Subsidy?
The Part D Low Income Subsidy (LIS/Extra Help) program helps pay for a portion of Part D prescription drug plan costs, including Part D premiums, deductibles, and copayments. Depending on your income and assets, you may qualify for a full or partial subsidy. Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) work together to administer LIS/Extra Help. The SSA estimates the average annual value of LIS is $5,000 per person.
The LIS/Extra Help program provides several benefits:
Access to prescription drug coverage
Waiver for Part D late enrollment penalty
Eligibility for several Special Enrollment Periods (SEP) as participants can change plans once during each of the first three quarters and again during the Annual Enrollment Period
Potential auto-enrollment in Medicare Savings Programs (such as QMB, SLMB, and QI)
