Good news! Starting January 1, 2025, your Medicare Part D drug costs will be capped at $2,000 per year. That means once you’ve spent $2,000 out-of-pocket on covered prescriptions, you won’t have to pay a dime more for covered medications for the rest of the year.
This change is part of the Inflation Reduction Act, and it’s designed to help you save money and manage your healthcare costs more easily.
How the $2,000 Cap Works for You
You don’t have to do anything – The cap will apply automatically when you reach $2,000 in drug costs.
It covers all Medicare Part D prescriptions – No more worrying about sky-high drug prices.
It does NOT include premiums – You’ll still pay your monthly Part D plan premium, but your out-of-pocket prescription costs stop at $2,000.
It does NOT cover drugs outside your plan’s formulary – If a medication isn’t covered by your plan, it won’t count toward the cap.
Struggling to Pay for Medications? You’ll Have a New Option!
If paying for prescriptions all at once is tough, Medicare is introducing a new payment option in 2025. Instead of paying everything upfront, you’ll be able to spread your drug costs over the year with fixed monthly payments.
You should be receiving information from your Drug plan carrier.
What You Should Do Next
✔ Review your Part D plan – Make sure it covers the medications you need. You can do this during Open Enrollment (Oct 15 - Dec 7).
✔ Watch for updates from your Part D carrier– They’ll send you details about how the cap works and how to sign up for the payment plan if you need it.
✔ Ask questions – If you’re unsure how this affects you, call us at 844.709.9835.
