Explanation for 30-Day Preferred Pharmacy purchase: |
|
For a purchase of this drug made during the initial deductible phase,
you cross over into other phases of your plan’s coverage (straddle claim).
So you pay 100% of the drug cost up to your deductible of $395
and the remaining amount ($11,874.00-$395) (price - deductible) falls
into your initial coverage phase (ICP).
For the ICP portion of your coverage, your cost-sharing would be an additional $906.25
or $3,625.00 x 25%
(overage up to your remaining coverage limit
($3,625.00) * cost-sharing). Since the amount of the retail drug price falling into the ICP
$11,479.00 is greater than the remaining
initial coverage limit $3625 ($4,020 - $395),
$7,854.00 rolls into the coverage gap phase. For the portion that falls into the coverage gap phase,
you would pay an additional
$1,328.62
or ($5,314.47 x 25% -- 70% of the discount counts toward TrOOP and the 5% paid by your plan does not count toward TrOOP assuming this is a brand-name drug). Since the portion of the costs that fell into the coverage gap
$7,854.00 x 95% exceeds the amount
of TrOOP left ($5,048.75),
$2,539.53 falls into the catastrophic coverage phase. For the portion that falls into the catastrophic coverage phase, you would pay an additional $126.98 or (5% of $2,539.53) since it is greater than the minimum catastrophic cost-share of $8.95. |

| $2,522.96 | $2,522.96 | n/a |
$3,683.72 | $3,683.72 | $3,683.72 |
Explanation for 30-Day Preferred Pharmacy purchase: |
| The cost-sharing for purchases made during the initial coverage phase (ICP) would be $1,005.00 or ($4,020.00 x 25%). But since the retail drug price ($11,874.00) is greater than initial coverage limit ($4,020), the difference of $7,854.00 rolls into the coverage gap phase. For the portion that falls into the coverage gap phase,
you would pay an additional
$1,406.58
or ($5,626.32 x 25% -- 70% of the discount counts toward TrOOP and the 5% paid by your plan does not count toward TrOOP). The portion of the costs that fell into the coverage gap $5,626.32 exceeds the amount of TrOOP left ($5,345.00) so you only pay in the gap on the amount within the TrOOP. The excess over TrOOP, $2,227.68 falls into the catastrophic coverage phase. For the portion that falls into the catastrophic coverage phase,
you would pay an additional $111.38 or (5% of $2,227.68) since it is greater than the minimum catastrophic cost-share of $8.95. So, your total cost for this one purchase is $2,522.96 or $1,005.00 (ICP) + $1,406.58 (Gap) + $111.38 (Cat.Cov.). |
--- If you purchase during the Coverage Gap Phase (Donut Hole) --- |
Your Estimated Cost in Gap if Drug is Generic (75% discount): |
| $2,968.50 | $2,968.50 | n/a |
$6,834.46 | $6,834.46 | $6,834.46 |
Explanation for 30-Day Preferred Pharmacy purchase: |
| Your cost is the negotiated retail price of $11,874.00 x 25%. |
Your Estimated Cost in Gap if Drug is Brand-Name (75% discount): |
| $1,930.54 | $1,930.54 | n/a |
$3,008.58 | $3,008.58 | $3,008.58 |
|
Since 95% this drug’s negotiated
retail price ($11,874.00) is greater than
the TrOOP limit ($6,350), in the donut hole phase, you would pay
$1,671.05 (($6,350 / 95%) x 25% -- 70% of the discount counts toward TrOOP and the 5% paid by your plan does not count toward TrOOP)
plus $259.49 in the catastrophic phase, (which is 5% of the remaining
$5,189.79)
because $259.49 is greater than the minimum catastrophic cost-share of $8.95.
Although it rarely happens that you would be responsible for the entire
$6,350 for a purchase in the coverage gap, it can occur, for example
on an expensive generic drug with a $0 copay in the initial coverage phase. |

Catastrophic Coverage Phase Cost-Sharing for Generic & Preferred Multi-Source Drugs: |
| The greater of 5% or $3.60 |
The greater of 5% or $3.60 |
Your Estimated Cost in Catastrophic Coverage Phase (Generic): |
| $593.70 | $593.70 | n/a |
$1,754.46 | $1,754.46 | $1,754.46 |
Explanation for 30-Day Preferred Pharmacy purchase: |
| In the catastrophic coverage phase, you will pay the greater of 5% of the retail drug price or the minimum cost-share of $3.60. Calculating 5% of $11,874.00 = $593.70. Since $593.70 is more than $3.60, you would pay $593.70 for this drug at a preferred pharmacy, if it is a generic or preferred multi-source drug. |
Catastrophic Coverage Phase Cost-Sharing for Other Drugs (Brand-Name or Non-Preferred Multi-Source Drugs): |
| The greater of 5% or $8.95 |
The greater of 5% or $8.95 |

Explanation for 30-Day Preferred Pharmacy purchase: |
| In the catastrophic coverage phase, you will pay the greater of 5% of the retail drug price or the minimum cost-share of $8.95. Calculating 5% of $11,874.00 = $593.70. Since $593.70 is more than $8.95, you would pay $593.70 for this drug at any pharmacy, if it is not a generic or preferred multi-source drug. |

Notes:
*The Medicare drug plan’s average negotiated retail drug price is based on several
variables: the medication, the quantity of your prescription, the specific Medicare Part D
plan, and the pharmacies in the plan’s service area. In this case, the average of
the AUSTEDO 12 MG TABLET prices that the UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage Choice (Regional PPO) has negotiated with each of the retail pharmacies
in the plan’s service area (in Statewide, TX: CMS MA Region 17, includes: TX).
In other words, when you use the UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage Choice (Regional PPO) to purchase AUSTEDO 12 MG TABLET, you may pay slightly more
or slightly less than the figures shown in the table above depending on the pharmacy where
you fill your prescription and the quantity of your prescription. The example average retail prices used above are based on a quantity of
120 for the 30-day supply and a quantity of 360 for the 90-day supply.
**The mail-order cost-sharing is the plan’s "preferred" mail-order cost-sharing.
