Q & A
What Is the Medicare Part D Coverage Gap?
Answer: Most Medicare drug plans have a coverage gap, also known as the “doughnut hole.” This means that after you and your drug plan have spent a certain amount of money for covered medications, you have to pay all out-of-pocket costs for your drugs (up to a limit). Your yearly deductible, your co-insurance or copayments, and what you pay in the coverage gap all count toward this limit.
