Common Medicare Extra Help Questions
How long does Extra Help last?
Extra Help continues as long as you meet the eligibility requirements. Social Security reviews your eligibility annually, and you'll receive a notice if anything changes.
Can I choose any Part D plan with Extra Help?
You can choose any Part D plan in your area, but you'll only pay $0 premium for plans that don't charge more than the Low Income Premium Subsidy Amount.
What if I'm denied Extra Help?
You can appeal the decision within 60 days. Many denials are due to missing information, so make sure to provide all required documentation with your application.
Does Extra Help cover all my medications?
Extra Help lowers your costs, but your medications must still be covered by your Part D plan's formulary. We can help you find a plan that covers your specific medications.
Can I switch Part D plans with Extra Help?
Yes! With Extra Help, you can change Part D plans any time during the year, not just during Open Enrollment. This gives you more flexibility if your needs change.
How quickly will I get Extra Help benefits?
Most applications are processed within 2-4 weeks. If approved, benefits are retroactive to your application date, so you may receive refunds for premiums already paid.
