Drug Coverage
The Aetna Medicare Signature (HMO) plan features an annual prescription drug deductible of $615. Beneficiaries can save significantly on lower-tier drugs, as there is no copay for Tier 1 preferred generic and Tier 2 generic medications filled at preferred pharmacies or through preferred mail order. If you choose standard pharmacies or standard mail-order services, Tier 1 copays start at $2 and Tier 2 copays start at $12 for a one-month supply. For brand-name and specialty medications, the plan utilizes coinsurance rather than flat copays. Tier 3 preferred brand drugs require a 24% coinsurance, while Tier 4 non-preferred drugs and Tier 5 specialty drugs require a 25% coinsurance across all pharmacy and mail-order options. This clear pricing structure makes it easy to estimate your out-of-pocket prescription costs with the Aetna Medicare Signature (HMO) plan.
