Why Part D Matters
Prescriptions are a major driver of out-of-pocket costs. Medicare Part D helps control those costs through private plans approved by Medicare. If you’re on Original Medicare/Medigap, Part D is your pharmacy coverage. If you’re on Medicare Advantage, your plan often already includes Part D (MAPD)—we’ll confirm.
What Varies From Plan to Plan
- Formulary (Drug List): Determines whether and how your meds are covered.
- Tiers & Co-pays: Generics vs. brand-name cost differently; tiers matter.
- Preferred Pharmacies: Boise pharmacies may be preferred, standard, or out-of-network—pricing changes with status.
- Premium & Deductible: Some plans have $0 deductibles; others use the max allowed. The right choice depends on your medication mix.
Understanding the Cost “Stages” (High Level)
Part D typically moves through:
- Deductible stage (you pay up to the deductible amount, if any).
- Initial coverage (you and the plan share costs via co-pays/coinsurance).
- Coverage gap (“donut hole”) (manufacturers/plan discounts may apply on brand drugs).
- Catastrophic (once you hit the threshold, your share typically drops significantly).
We’ll translate this into real dollars using your medication list and preferred Boise pharmacy.
Why Annual Reviews are Essential
Formularies and preferred pharmacy agreements change every year. A great plan this year may be poor next year. During AEP (Oct 15 – Dec 7), we re-run your meds/doses and pharmacy to eliminate surprises on January 1.
What Really Drives Cost
Two residents with the same plan can pay very different amounts if:
- One uses an out-of-network or non-preferred pharmacy.
- One has a brand-name medication that moved to a higher tier mid-year.
- One didn’t notice a formulary change and now faces a prior authorization or step therapy.
We prevent these pitfalls with an annual checkup.
Pairing Part D with Your Overall Strategy
- On Medigap? You’ll always add a standalone Part D plan.
- On Advantage? You likely already have Part D, but not always—some MA-only plans exclude it. We’ll confirm and fix gaps.
Late Enrollment Penalty - How To Avoid It
If you go without creditable drug coverage when first eligible, Medicare assesses a lifetime penalty added to your Part D premium. Even if you don’t take meds now, a low-premium plan can protect you from future penalties.
