Part D Prescription Drug Coverage Phases

(For All Plans with Part D)


NOTE:
Select, Value Plus, and Access plans have a deductible for certain drug tiers that must be met before entering the Initial Coverage Phase.

See deductible details under your plan below.

*Different cost-sharing applies for members who receive "Extra Help" (Low-Income Subsidy (LIS/LICS))

For plans with a deductible: The deductible applies to covered drugs in Tiers 3, 4, and 5.

You will pay the full cost for drugs in these tiers until the plan's deductible is met. Then you will enter the Initial Coverage Phase for drugs in these tiers.

For drugs in Tiers 1, 2, and 6, you start immediately in the Initial Coverage Phase.

You begin this phase when you fill your first prescription of the year and pay set copays or cost shares (noted under your plan below) for covered drugs until the total yearly drug costs (what you pay PLUS what the plan pays) reach $5,030.

Once the total reaches $5,030, you enter the Coverage Gap Phase.

In this phase, you pay 25% of the cost for generic drugs. For brand-name drugs, you receive a manufacturer’s discount, and you will pay 25% of the discounted cost plus a portion of the dispensing fee.**

  3. The total out-of-pocket drug costs and dispensing fees YOU paid in the Coverage Gap Phase PLUS
  4. The total amount of the manufacturer’s discount you received in the Coverage Gap Phase.

Once the total reaches $8,000, you enter the Catastrophic Coverage Phase.

Once you have moved into the Catastrophic Coverage phase, you pay $0 for covered drugs for the remainder of the year.

*Different cost-sharing applies for members who receive "Extra Help" (Low-Income Subsidy (LIS/LICS))

**Tier 6 copays in this phase are $0 for 30- and 90-day supplies at preferred retail and mail-order pharmacies, and 15% coinsurance at standard retail pharmacies. Additionally, plan costs from all phases ARE NOT COUNTED in the Coverage Gap Phase.
