Spread the Word: On Jan. 1, 2024, More People will Save on Medicare Drug Costs with Expansion of “Extra Help”

On Jan. 1, 2024, more people with Medicare will benefit from the expanded Extra Help program. Postcards to educate people with Medicare on the new savings under the expanded Extra Help program are available in Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese.

Extra Help lowers Medicare drug coverage (Part D) costs, like premiums, deductibles, and coinsurance for those who apply and qualify. The drug pricing law expanded Extra Help so more people with Medicare will qualify for the full subsidy under the program.

In 2024, everyone who qualifies for Extra Help will pay:

$0 for their Medicare drug plan premium.
$0 for their plan deductible.
A reduced amount for both generic and brand-name drugs.
