Combine Medicare with Canadian Drugs and Save Even More

Public Facts About Medicare Part D:

Private Insurance Plan: You will need to choose a private insurance plan and will need to consider:

  • Monthly Premiums and Drug Cost can change at any time with 60 day notice; however, you are still locked in for the full term of your contract.
  • Drug Coverage - not all drugs are covered, this will be very important if you are a couple, cross check to make sure both of your medication are included.
  • Drug Exclusion - some drugs are excluded from the program, clarify with the private insurance plan.
  • Generic Substitution - with some plans you will automatically be given the generic versus the brand, you will not have a choice.
  • No Choice of Pharmacy - you will not have a choice on which Pharmacy you would like to use. Some plans will restrict the quantity, meaning you will receive a 30 day supply versus a 90 day supply.

How much it will cost you:

Monthly Premiums: $444.00 ($37.00 est. per month)
Annual Deductible: $250.00 your out of pocket expense
Annual Cost: $694.00

25% Co-insurance up to $2,250:

$500.00 of the $2,250

You pay the full cost of RX drugs between $2,250 to $5,100
This is the coverage gap of $2,850 that is not covered

75% Co-insurance after $5,100

Please keep in mind that the coverage summarized above is for the basic plan coverage outlined by Medicare. Specific Medicare programs may have different coverage such as higher premiums, and varying co-payment terms.
