Medicare offers a program that provides a subsidy to assist with the cost of prescription drugs. This subsidy, known as a "low-Income subsidy," offers varying levels of assistance for some or all of your monthly prescription costs. To apply for Extra Help, you can submit an application to Social Security or call them at 800-772-1213. Additionally, you can visit their website at www.ssa.gov and navigate to the "prescription help" section. You also have the option to apply in person at your nearest SSA office.
