I am eligible for the "extra help" with prescription drug costs or limited-income subsidy, but my plan is billing me for a premium. What should I do?

Contact your plan. The plan can check and make sure that your record correctly shows you should get extra help. 

Pleaese remember that some people with incomes over a certain amount still pay reduced premiums.  In these cases, you must apply for the extra help (it isn't automatic) and Medicare can help you enroll in a plan that works for you.

You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or visit the Medicare.gov Prescription Drug Plan Finder on medicare.gov for more information about extra help with your prescription drug costs.
