Can we still get the $250 Donut Hole rebate that we were receiving back in 2010?

No. The $250 Donut Hole rebate checks were only sent to people who reached their 2010 Medicare Part D plan's Donut Hole or Coverage Gap.

The good news is that the $250 Donut Hole rebate acted like a transition into the Medicare Part D Donut Hole discount program that started in 2011.

Now in 2012, people who reach the Donut Hole or Coverage Gap portion of their Medicare Part D prescription drug plan will receive a 50% discount on name-brand medications and a 14% discount on their generic medications purchased while in the Donut Hole.
