Prescription Coverage

  • Yearly Deductible Stage

     

    During this stage, Sentara Medicare pays its share of the cost of your Tiers 1 (Preferred Generic), 2 (Non-Preferred Generic) and 3 (Preferred Brand) drugs and you pay (or others on your behalf) pay your share of the cost. You pay the full cost of your Tiers 4 (Non-Preferred Brand) and 5 (Specialty) drugs. You stay in this stage for your Tiers 4 and 5 drugs until you have paid the $150 yearly deductible for these drugs.

  • Initial Coverage Limit

     

    During this stage, Sentara Medicare pays its share of the cost of your Tiers 1- 5 drugs and you (or others on your behalf) pay your share of the cost.

    You pay the costs outlined in the charts on the next page until your year-to-date "total drug costs" (your payments plus any Part D plan's payments) reach $5,030.

  • Coverage Gap

     

    After the total yearly drug cost (including what our plan has paid and what you have paid) reaches $5,030, you enter the coverage gap (also called the "donut hole"). During this stage you (or others on your behalf) pay 25% of the price of generic and brand name drugs (plus a portion of the dispensing fee).

    You stay in this stage until the amount of your year - to - date "out-of-pocket costs" reaches $8,000.Not everyone will enter the coverage gap.

  • Catastrophic Coverage

     

    After your yearly out-of-pocket drug costs (including drugs purchased through your retail pharmacy and through mail order) reach $8,000, your plan will pay the full cost for the remainder of the year.
