Extra Help

Low Income Subsidy Premiums for the 2019 Plan Year

Medicare provides Part D premium and cost-sharing assistance to beneficiaries who qualify for the program’s low income subsidy, also called the LIS. An enrollee’s premium will generally be lower once they receive extra help from Medicare, if the enrollee joins a CoxHealth MedicarePlus plan with a monthly premium.

If you qualify for extra help, you pay $0 or a reduced monthly premium.

The premiums listed are for both medical services and prescription drug benefits (Medicare Advantage-Part D plans only).
