Medicare Part D
Medicare Part D is a federal program that provides prescription drug coverage to eligible individuals who are enrolled in Medicare. This program has made prescription drugs more affordable for millions of Americans by offering coverage through private insurance companies with a variety of plans that cover generic and brand-name prescription drugs, insulin supplies, and vaccines. Beneficiaries can enroll in a plan during their initial enrollment period, which is the three months before they turn 65, the month of their 65th birthday, and the three months after their 65th birthday, or during the annual open enrollment period from October 15th to December 7th each year. By enrolling in Part D, eligible individuals can access affordable prescription drugs and improve their overall health outcomes.
Important things to know about Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage
Part D Coverage is provided in the following stages:
Annual Deductible - There is a deductible you must pay for a Part D plan. Your deductible may be different or waived entirely.
Initial Coverage - During initial coverage, you pay a copay for your medications based on your plan’s formulary.
The Coverage Gap- During the coverage gap, you will pay 25% for name-brand medications and 37% for generics.
Catastrophic Coverage -If you should spend past the coverage gap, your plan will begin to pay 95% of the costs of your formulary medications for the rest of the year.
