Low Income Subsidy (LIS) Premium Summary Chart

If you qualify for extra help, Low Income Subsidy (LIS), to pay for your prescription drug costs, Medicare could also pay 75% or more of your Plan Premium, annual deductibles and co-insurance (if applicable). Additionally, those who qualify won’t have a coverage gap or a late enrollment penalty.

2012
To qualify, your yearly income is limited to $16,245 for an individual or $21,855 for a married couple living together.

If your income and resources are slightly higher, you should still apply. You may still qualify if you meet one of the following conditions:

  • You or your spouse support other family members who live with you.
  • You or your spouse have earnings from work.
  • You or your spouse live in Alaska or Hawaii.

Your resources are limited to $6,680 ($11,520 if married) for Full Low-Income Subsidy and $11,140 ($23,760 if married) for other low-income subsidies. This information is based on 2011 Federal Poverty Levels (FPL).

If you currently have an Employer/Union health plan or a State Pharmacy Assistance Program (SPAP) it will not affect the help you receive paying for the prescriptions drugs.

The above charts show you what your monthly plan premium will be if you get this subsidy. The premiums listed above include both your medical and prescription drug coverage.
