If you reside in a long-term care facility, you pay the same as at a retail pharmacy.
You may get drugs from an out-of-network pharmacy, but may pay more than you pay at an in-network pharmacy.

Coverage Gap Most Medicare drug plans have a coverage gap (also called the “donut hole”). This means that
there’s a temporary change in what you will pay for your drugs. The coverage gap begins after the
total yearly drug cost (including what our plan has paid and what you have paid) reaches $4,020

After you enter the coverage gap, you pay 25% of the plan’s cost for covered brand name drugs
and 25% of the plan’s cost for covered generic drugs until your costs total $6,350, which is
the end of the coverage gap. Not everyone will enter the coverage gap.

Catastrophic After your yearly out-of-pocket drug costs (including drugs purchased through your
Coverage retail pharmacy and through mail order) reach $6,350, you pay the greater of:

• 5% of the cost, or

• $3.60 copay for generic (including brand drugs treated as generic) and a $8.95 copayment
for all other drugs.

For our HMO Plans: Except in emergency or urgent situations, we do not cover services by out-of-network
providers (doctors who are not listed in the provider directory).
Our plan allows you to see providers outside of our network (non-contracted providers). However, while we
will pay for covered services provided by a non-contracted provider, the provider must agree to treat you.
Except in an emergency or urgent situations, non-contracted providers may deny care. In addition, you will
pay a higher co-pay for services received by non-contracted providers.
