If you have Extra Help, throughout the year you will pay either the Extra Help copayment or your plan’s copay for your prescription drugs. You always pay the lower cost between the two. Note that plan copays for prescriptions may change during the year, meaning at times the price for your prescription drugs may differ.
Example: Mr. S has Extra Help and a monthly income above $1,325. His Extra Help copays are $4.90 for generics and $12.15 for brand-name drugs. His plan copay for generics is $1.25, so Mr. S will pay the plan copay of $1.25 because it is cheaper than the Extra Help copay of $4.90. Â
