What will people with Medicare Part D pay for their prescription drug plans in 2021?
This outlines what people with Medicare will pay for prescription coverage in each phase, including:
- A deductible of up to $445 (varies by plan).
- 25% of the costs of their prescription drugs in the initial coverage period (or up to $1,032.50 if in a plan with no deductible).
- Up to a total of $6,550 out-of-pocket before the beneficiary reaches the catastrophic benefits period. Once they hit this threshold, the Medicare beneficiary will pay either 5% coinsurance or $3.70 copay for generic medications, and $9.20 for brand-name drugs.
There are many variables, but these are the basics. Having a knowledgeable and trustworthy advisor will absolutely provide benefits including cost savings and ensuring proper coverage.
