This year, people with Medicare may qualify for even more savings through the Extra Help program. This program helps some people pay their Medicare drug coverage (Part D) costs, like premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, and other costs. The program has expanded in 2024 and you may qualify.

In 2024, everyone who qualifies for Extra Help will pay $0 for their Medicare drug plan premium, $0 for their plan deductible, and a reduced amount for both generic and brand-name drugs! Your local SHINE program can help you see if you're eligible or how to apply. To request help from SHINE, call the Helpline at 866-413-5337.
