Part D cost assistance

Extra Help with Part D costs

Extra Help is a federal program that may lower Part D prescription drug costs for people with limited income and resources.

Extra Help is decided through the official Social Security process. Once eligibility is confirmed, you can use your prescriptions and pharmacy choices to compare the Part D coverage that fits your needs.

01

Apply through the official source

Use Social Security or your state Medicaid office for the eligibility decision. Skyline Benefit does not decide eligibility or submit the official application.

02

Keep the information you receive

Save eligibility notices and plan correspondence so you can confirm when help begins and how it affects your prescription coverage.

03

Review Part D after eligibility is confirmed

Drug formularies, pharmacies, and plan rules still matter. Compare the prescriptions and pharmacy you actually use.
