Key Plan Facts

Plan Costs:

The cost of a Medicare Advantage Plan is made up of four main parts.

• First, the monthly premium — the amount you pay every month.
• Second, the deductible — the amount you pay out of pocket for covered services before the plan starts paying.
• Third, the copayments and coinsurance — the amounts you pay out of pocket for covered services, usually after meeting the deductible (if applicable). Copays are fixed dollar amounts; coinsurance is a percentage of the cost.
• Fourth, the Out-of-Pocket Maximum — the maximum amount you could have to pay out of pocket in a year. This may be different for in-network and out-of-network services.

For higher-tier medications, you will pay a 35% coinsurance for preferred brands and a 30% coinsurance for non-preferred drugs. After your yearly out-of-pocket drug costs reach $2,100.00, you enter the catastrophic coverage phase and will pay nothing for covered Part D prescription drugs.
