Program Description:

Medicare Part D is the optional component of Medicare that covers prescription drugs. The Medicare website has information about the program and a Medicare Drug Plan Finder that allows users to compare different plans. Extra Help (also known as Low Income Subsidy) reduces premiums and copayments for low income beneficiaries. www.ssa.gov/medicare/prescriptionhelp Part D recipients now receive discounts on brand name drugs when they are in the "donut hole" or coverage gap. Discounts will increase each year until the donut hole is eliminated entirely. This is a benefit of the Affordable Care Act.
