Ways to Save
Medicare Prescription Payment Plan
- This program lets you spread your annual prescription costs over 12 months. The “donut hole” no longer applies, and your yearly out-of-pocket limit is capped at $2,100, regardless of your plan. You pay your insurance company directly and owe nothing at the pharmacy.
Request to Lower B & D IRMAA
- If you've had a life-changing event that reduced your household income, you can ask to lower the additional amount you'll pay for Medicare Part B and Part D.
