Prescription Drug Coverage: Deductible, Cost-sharing, Formulary |
This plan does NOT have a deductible for the prescription drug coverage. That means that you have first dollar coverage. Some plans have a deductible that must be paid (in full) prior to the prescription coverage assisting in your prescription costs (see cost-sharing below). The maximum deductible for 2010 is $310. This plan (CIGNA Medicare Access Plus RX Plan Four (PFFS)) has no deductible. |
The Initial Coverage Phase (ICP) can be thought of as the cost-sharing phase of the plan. During this phase, you and the insurance company share your prescription costs. Since this plan has no deductible, your coverage (initial coverage phase) will start right away. All medication are divided into tiers within the plans formulary. This helps the plan to organize and manage the prescription cost-sharing. The CIGNA Medicare Access Plus RX Plan Four (PFFS)’s formulary is divided into 4 tiers. Every plan can name their tiers differently, and can place medications on any tier. The cost-sharing for this plan is divided as follows:
|
The Coverage Gap, which is also known as the Donut (Doughnut) Hole is the phase of your Medicare Part D plan where
you are responsible for 100% of your medication costs. Healthcare Reform mandates that the insurance carrier pay 0% of your generic drug prescription costs in the donut hole on your behalf. The brand-name drug manufacturer will pay 0% and your plan will pay an additional 0% of the cost of your brand-name drugs purchased in the Donut Hole, for a total of 0% discount. The 0% paid by the brand-name drug manufacturer is paid on your behalf and therefore counts toward your TrOOP (or True Out-of-Pocket) costs. The portion paid by your plan, does not count toward TrOOP. Some Medicare Part D plans offer coverage during the Coverage Gap that is beyond the mandated discounts. Any drug not covered by the plan’s Gap Coverage will still receive the discounts noted above -- even if the plan has "No Gap Coverage". This plan (CIGNA Medicare Access Plus RX Plan Four (PFFS)) offers No Coverage during the Coverage Gap phase. |
