Medicaid, LIS, & Extra Help · published Feb 20, 2017
To apply for Extra Help, you can contact your state Medicaid office or you can call the Social Security Administration for more information at: (1-800-772-1213).
Remember, if you are eligible for the Medicare Part D Extra Help program, you will be granted a continuous Special Enrollment Period (SEP) so that you have the option to change enrollment to another Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage plan that provides more affordable health and prescription coverage.
Also, if you are eligible for Medicaid, you are automatically eligible for the Medicare Part D Extra Help program.
