WHAT IS MEDICARE PART D?

Medicare Part D is prescription drug coverage that is available to you if you’re
eligible for Medicare. This prescription drug benefit is administered by private
insurance companies, like us, that contract with the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS).

How Part D works

(Information provided below is specific to 2022)
In addition to the monthly premium, Medicare Part D plans have four different benefit stages
that affect how much you owe for your prescriptions: Annual Deductible (if applicable),
Initial Coverage, Coverage Gap, and Catastrophic Coverage.

Here's how they work:

Annual Deductible The Blue MedicareRx Value Plus plan has an annual deductible only on Tiers 3, 4, and 5.
(if applicable) The Blue MedicareRx Premier plan has no annual deductible.
Refer to the Plan Comparison Chart on pages 9-10 for more details.

Initial Coverage There is a $4,430 initial coverage limit. This includes your copayments, co-insurance,
Coverage Gap and payments made by the plan for covered prescriptions.
Catastrophic
Coverage There is a coverage gap that starts once total drug costs (member and plan payments)
reach $4,430 and ends when your out-of-pocket prescription drug costs reach $7,050.
When you're in the Coverage Gap stage, you pay 25% of the costs of generic drugs.
For brand-name drugs, you pay 25% of the negotiated price (excluding the dispensing fee).
You continue paying 25% for generic drugs and 25% of the negotiated price (excluding
the dispensing fee) for brand-name drugs until yearly out-of-pocket costs paid by you
and others on your behalf reach $7,050. The payments made on your behalf (excludes
payments made by Blue MedicareRx) count toward your out-of-pocket costs.
Refer to the Plan Comparison Chart on pages 9-10 for your costs in the Coverage Gap
for each of the Blue MedicareRx plans.

Takes effect after you and others on your behalf have paid $7,050 in annual
out-of-pocket prescription costs.

Am I eligible?

You’re eligible for Medicare prescription drug coverage
and Blue MedicareRx membership if:

• You have Medicare Part A and/or Medicare Part B
• You’re a United States citizen or are lawfully present in the United States
• You live in our geographic service area

OUR PHARMACY NETWORK

What pharmacies can I use?

You must use a network pharmacy to access your prescription drug benefits, except under
non-routine circumstances (e.g., a medical emergency or urgent care, or when a network
pharmacy is unavailable). Quantity limitations and restrictions may apply.

What is preferred cost sharing for the Blue MedicareRx plans?

When you visit a network pharmacy that offers preferred cost sharing, you pay lower copays
for your prescriptions than you would at other pharmacies. And it’s easy for you to get these
savings. 20,000+ of the pharmacies in our network offer preferred cost sharing, including:1

SUMMARY OF BENEFITS

Stage 3: Coverage Gap Stage

Most Medicare drug plans, including Blue MedicareRx Value Plus
(PDP) and Blue MedicareRx Premier (PDP), have a coverage gap
(also called the “donut hole”). This means that there’s a temporary
change in what you’ll pay for your drugs. The coverage gap begins
after the total yearly drug cost (including what our plan has paid
and what you’ve paid) reaches $4,430.

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 $7,050, which is the
end of the coverage gap. Not everyone will enter the coverage gap.
Under Blue MedicareRx Premier (PDP), you may pay even less for the brand and generic drugs
on the formulary. Your cost varies by tier. You’ll need to use your formulary to locate your drug’s tier.
See the chart below to find out your costs.
