Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Guide

What is Medicare Part D?

Medicare prescription drug coverage (part D) is a lot like other insurance you have used throughout your life. Medicare Part D covers prescription drug costs only. A private health insurance company manages it for a monthly premium.

Part D is open to everyone on Medicare, regardless of income.

Part D plans generally include low co-payments or co-insurance for both brand name and generic prescription drugs. Whether you are seeking coverage, or have it with another plan, the right Medicare Part D plan can save you money.

You can choose Part D coverage as a stand–alone prescription drug plan. You can also get Part D as part of Medicare Advantage Plans, which offer benefits beyond prescription drugs for a higher premium. You always have lots of options.

Choose a plan that works the hardest for you.

5 Simple questions you need to ask.

  • Does my plan live up to Medicare standards?
  • What are my up-front costs?
  • Will the plan cover the drugs I need today and tomorrow?
  • Is this the simplest plan, or are extra steps needed to get my drugs?
  • How much do I pay for each drug?

What will I pay with Medicare Part D?

How much coverage will I get?

  • You pay a monthly premium, which varies from plan to plan.
  • Depending on your plan you pay an annual deductible of $0 to $275.
  • The plan will then cover prescription expenses with co-pays up to $2,510. Co-pays vary by plan.
  • At this point, coverage stops and you pay all prescription costs until your total prescription expenses reach $5,726.25. You may be able to choose a Part D insurance plan to handle some or all of these ”out of pocket” costs or buy additional coverage on your own. It’s often called “gap insurance” and it’s available form a wide range of providers.
  • After your expenses go over $5,726.25, your Medicare drug plan pays 95% of your covered costs. You just pay 5%, no matter how high your drug costs go in 2009.

What if I already have a Medicare Part D plan?

Why change now?

Every eligible Part D plan must meet a minimum standard outlined by Medicare.
But why just settle for just good enough, when this year’s plan may not be the best answer? Formularies, premiums, deductibles and more can change from one year to the next. So a new plan may be better for your needs.

It’s time to go shopping. That’s what Open Enrollment is really all about. You’re shopping for insurance. And it can pay to shop around.

Who wouldn’t want to get more prescriptions filled for less money?

Why spend the next year wondering if you could have spent less?
