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. Once you have spent $480, your initial coverage phase will start. All medication are divided into tiers within the plans formulary. This helps the plan to organize and manage the prescription cost-sharing. The Clear Spring Health Value Rx (PDP)’s formulary is divided into 5 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:
  • Tier 1 (Preferred Generic) contains 209 drugs and has a co-payment of $1.00.
  • Tier 2 (Generic) contains 593 drugs and has a co-payment of $3.00.
  • Tier 3 (Preferred Brand) contains 504 drugs and has a co-payment of $42.00.
  • Tier 4 (Non-Preferred Drug) contains 1,248 drugs and has a co-insurance of 40% of the drug cost.
  • Tier 5 (Specialty Tier) contains 588 drugs and has a co-insurance of 25% of the drug cost.

The Clear Spring Health Value Rx (PDP)’s Initial Coverage Limit is $4,430. When this limit is reached, you exit the Initial Coverage Phase and enter the Coverage Gap (or Donut Hole).

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 75% of your generic drug prescription costs in the donut hole on your behalf.

The brand-name drug manufacturer will pay 70% and your plan will pay an additional 5% of the cost of your brand-name drugs purchased in the Donut Hole, for a total of 75% discount. The 70% 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 (Clear Spring Health Value Rx (PDP)) offers No Coverage during the Coverage Gap phase.
