Coverage*** $6, *After an individual pays the deductible, he or she is in the initial coverage period during which he or she pays 25 percent of drug costs and the Part D plan pays 75 percent of costs. Once Part D drug expenses (paid by the individual and by the Part D plan) total the initial coverage limit ($2,850 for 2014), the individual is responsible for a certain percentage of charges based on whether the drug is generic or brand until the individual has reached the out-of-pocket threshold. **The out-of-pocket threshold is the amount that the individual must pay on his or her own before catastrophic coverage begins. This gap between the initial coverage limit and catastrophic coverage is referred to as the donut hole. ***Once an individual reaches the catastrophic portion of the benefit, the Part D plan covers approximately 95 percent of the Part D drug expenses incurred. Cost-sharing is set at the greater of 5 percent coinsurance or fixed copayments. This amount is set by CMS. It is not a total of other amounts listed in this table. 38
