You can also apply for further assistance through health and human services or hhs.gov for your county.

If you qualify for Extra Help/LIS, you will receive help on the cost of your Medicare Part D (Prescription Drug Plan) premiums, copays for your medications, and the waiving of any Medicare Part D LEPs (Late Enrollment Penalties) you may currently be incurring.
Certain individuals will receive a letter from Social Security Administration informing them that they automatically qualify for Extra Help, where others will need to apply.
You can view information, income limits and also apply if you fall in/under said income limits by following this link here: https://www.medicare.gov/basics/costs/help/drug-costs
