Is the Medicare Extra Help program expected to change in 2026? Not sure about 2026, but it could be in 2027 and beyond. Extra help is usually available with Medicare Advantage plans, which run from January 1st to December 31st.

So far, I am not aware of significant changes to the (LIS) Extra Help With Prescription Drugs program, other than the annual or inflationary increases in premium coverage adn copays for drugs.

Not at this time that I am aware of. So generally the extra help assist with your medications cost so there has been no changes to the $2000.00 cap on medications.
