Coverage Gap Most Medicare drug plans have a coverage gap (also called the “donut hole”).
Catastrophic This means that there’s a temporary change in what you will pay for your drugs.
Coverage 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.

After your yearly out-of-pocket drug costs (including drugs purchased through your
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.
