Initial Coverage Limit (ICL)

Initial Coverage Limit is $4,660.00. During the Initial Coverage state, the plan pays its share of the cost of your covered prescriptions and you pay your share (your copayment or coinsurance amount). Your share of the cost will vary depending on the drug and where you fill your prescription. Please review the Evidence of Coverage online for more information on the phases of the benefit.

Coverage Gap

You stay in this stage until your out of pocket costs reach a total of $7,400.00. When you are in the Coverage Gap Stage, the Medicare Coverage Gap Discount Program provides manufacturer discounts on brand name drugs. You pay 25% of the negotiated price and a portion of the dispensing fees for brand name drugs. Please review the Evidence of Coverage online for more information on the Coverage Gap Stage.

Catastrophic Coverage Stage

Catastrophic Coverage Limit is $7,400.00. Catastrophic coverage begins after your total yearly drug cost reaches $7,400.00. During this time, the plan pays most of the cost for your drugs. Please reference the Evidence of Coverage, available online, for complete information regarding the Catastrophic Coverage Stage.
