The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has made significant changes to Medicare Part D plan design for prescription drug coverage starting January 2025. The changes are intended to make drugs more affordable and accessible. Key highlights include monthly payment options for covered high-cost medications and the elimination of the coverage gap after patients reach certain thresholds, reducing out-of-pocket cap on drug spending from $8,000 to $2,000. For higher cost medications, depending on plan coverage, some patients may see substantial increases to charges for the first refills of the year. The new monthly payment option can mitigate this situation.

We encourage patients to review their plan options to ensure their needs are met. You can learn more about what the changes may mean for you through your Medicare Part D plan using the contact information located on back of your insurance card. Patients who are insured by Network Health can contact advisors there at 866-845-1803. For general information, visit medicare.gov or call 1-800-Medicare. Pharmacy team members can also provide a broad overview of the changes.
