Option 2 (continue) Meicare Part D Prescription Drug Meicare Part D Prescription Drug coverage helps you pay for prescription rugs that are not covere by Meicare Parts A an B. Meicare Part D Prescription Drug coverage is insurance available from an insurance company or other private company that is approve by Meicare. How much oes Meicare Part D Prescription Drug coverage cost? The cost of Meicare Part D Prescription Drug coverage varies with the plan you choose. As with most other insurance plans, you must pay a monthly premium for your Meicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan, upon which the coverage works as follows: Expense Description Your Cost (varies by plan; 2014 approximate ranges) There are two ways in which you can obtain the prescription rug coverage you nee: Meicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans (PDPs) can be ae to Meicare Parts A an B, an while most commonly ae to Supplement (Meigap) Plans, they can also be ae to other types of Meicare Plans (Meicare Avantage, Cost Plans, etc.). Meicare Avantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) Plans are Meicare Avantage Plans (see page 10 for etails) that inclue prescription rug coverage. If you enroll in a Meicare Avantage Prescription Drug Plan, you will not nee to enroll in a separate PDP. Note that while most Meicare Avantage Plans cover prescription rugs, some plan types allow you to a rug coverage if it s not alreay inclue. Premium This is the monthly cost of your Meicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan coverage in aition to your Part B premium. Regarless of whether you use your plan to purchase prescription rugs, you will be responsible for paying this premium. $0 $100 per month Important consierations for plans Deuctible Coinsurance This is the amount you pay out of pocket for your prescriptions each year before your plan begins to pay. Some plans on t have a euctible. Once you ve satisfie your euctible (if require), you an the Meicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan share the cost of your prescriptions. This is a percentage of the total cost of the prescription. The amount may vary epening on whether you require a bran-name or generic prescription. $0 $310 per year Depens on plan You must be enrolle in Meicare Part A an/or Part B before you can enroll in a Meicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan. Unless you have coverage from another source that is consiere comparable to Meicare s (known as creitable coverage), you may pay a penalty if you on t enroll in Meicare Part D Prescription Drug coverage when you are first eligible. Each Meicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan has a formulary, which is a list of approve rugs. All rugs liste on your plan s formulary will be covere by the plan. The goo news is that all Meicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans must cover meications that treat almost every meical conition. If you have limite income an assets, you may be eligible for the Extra Help program to pay your premiums an rug costs. Contact the Social Security Aministration at www.ssa.gov or by calling 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) for more information. If you have other prescription rug coverage, such as Veterans Affairs (VA) coverage, you may not nee aitional Part D rug coverage. Be sure to iscuss any other rug coverage you have with your Benefits Avisor. Copayment Coverage Gap, or Donut Hole Catastrophic Coverage Some plans require that you pay a set ollar amount for each prescription, as oppose to a percentage of its cost (see Coinsurance above). This amount may vary epening on whether you require a bran-name or generic prescription. Coinsurance an copayments are often either/or, so you ll rarely have to pay both. Most Meicare Prescription Drug Plans have a coverage gap, or onut hole. This means that after you an your plan have spent a certain amount of money for covere prescriptions, you may have to pay higher costs out of pocket for other prescriptions, up to an annual limit. If, over the course of a calenar year, your spening on covere prescription rugs excees a preset limit, your plan s catastrophic coverage will begin to provie a safety net for you. Once that happens, the Meicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan will cover about 95% of the cost of your prescriptions. The exact amount you nee to spen before catastrophic coverage begins epens on the type of prescriptions you require. Depens on plan Once you enter the coverage gap, you pay 47.5% of the plan s costs for covere bran-name rugs an pay 72% of the plan s cost for covere generic rugs until you reach the en of the coverage gap. Some plans provie aitional coverage in the onut hole. There will be aitional savings in the coverage gap each year through 2020.
