Archive: I am new to Medicare and just now joining a 2010 Medicare Part D prescription drug plan, am I still eligible for the $250 Doughnut Hole rebate?

Yes.  Assuming that the retail cost of your prescription drugs exceeds your prescription drug plan's Initial Coverage Limit (usually $2,830 in 2010) before the end of 2010.

In fact, according to Medicare, even if you reach the Coverage Gap portion of your Medicare Part D plan on December 31, 2010, you are still eligible to receive your $250 rebate.
