Prescription Drug Payment Stages

Up to $505 $4,660 $7,400

STAGE 1:

DEDUCTIBLE STAGE

If you select a plan with a deductible, you pay the full cost of your drugs until you have paid your deductible. No Medicare drug plan may have a deductible more than $505 in 2023.

Some plans work best with Low Income Subsidy which will reduce the cost sharing (co-payments or co-insurance).

STAGE 2:

INITIAL COVERAGE STAGE

You pay co-pays or coinsurance for your drugs after you have met your deductible.

Your plan pays its share for covered drug costs and you pay your share.

You stay in this stage until the total cost of drugs paid by both you and the plan reaches $4,660.

STAGE 3:

COVERAGE GAP STAGE

You pay 25% coinsurance for generic drugs and 25% for brand name drugs during this stage.

Not everyone will reach the coverage gap.

You stay in this stage until you (or others on your behalf) have spent a total of $7,400 on your drug costs.

Low-cost

STAGE 4: CATASTROPHIC STAGE

Once you and others on your behalf have spent $7,400 in drug costs, you pay $4.15 co-pay for generic drugs and $10.35 co-pay for brand name drugs or 5% coinsurance of retail costs, whichever is higher for the duration of the year.

NY State Pharmaceutical Assistance Program

The Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC) program supplements Medicare Part D drug coverage for greater annual benefits and savings. When purchasing prescription drugs, show both the EPIC and Medicare Part D drug plan cards at the pharmacy. After the Medicare Part D deductible is met, drug costs not covered by Part D (including co-payments/co-insurance) can be submitted to EPIC for payment. You will pay an EPIC co-payment ranging from $3 to $20 based on the cost of the drug.

EPIC can provide:

• A Medicare Special Enrollment Period (SEP) so that a new member may enroll in a Part D drug plan at any time during the year;

• A Medicare one-time plan change per calendar year for existing members;

• Medicare Part D drug plan premium assistance;

• Co-payment assistance after the Medicare Part D deductible is met, if the member has one. EPIC also covers approved Part D-excluded drugs once a member is enrolled in a Part D drug plan.

Please note that EPIC deductible members must first meet their EPIC deductible before they will pay EPIC co-payments. This is in addition to meeting their Medicare Part D drug plan deductible should their Part D plan have one. For more information, please visit https://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/epic/

14

• Be a New York State resident age 65 or older

• After you meet your EPIC deductible, you will only pay the EPIC co-payments ranging from $3 to $20 based on the cost of your drug.

Part D Late Enrollment Penalty (LEP)

The late enrollment penalty is an amount added to your Medicare Part D monthly premium. You may owe a late enrollment penalty if you go without Part D or creditable prescription drug coverage for any continuous period of 63 days or more after your Initial Enrollment Period for Medicare Part D coverage is over.

How much is the Part D penalty?

• The cost of the late enrollment penalty depends on how long you went without Part D or creditable prescription drug coverage.

• Medicare calculates the penalty by multiplying 1% of the “national base beneficiary premium“ ($32.74 in 2023) times the number of full, uncovered months you didn’t have Part D or creditable coverage. The monthly premium is rounded to the nearest $.10 and added to your monthly Part D premium amount.

• The national base beneficiary premium may increase each year, so your penalty amount may also increase each year.

If you get Extra Help, you don’t pay the late enrollment penalty.

10
21

Calculating the Part D Late Enrollment Penalty

Example:

Mrs. Martinez has Medicare, and her first chance to get Medicare drug coverage (during her Initial Enrollment Period) ended on July 31, 2018. She doesn’t have prescription drug coverage from any other source. She didn’t join a Medicare drug plan by July 31, 2018, and instead joined during the Open Enrollment Period that ended December 7, 2020. Her Medicare drug coverage started January 1, 2021.

Since Mrs. Martinez was without creditable prescription drug coverage from August 2018 –December 2020, her penalty in 2022 is 29% (1% for each of the 29 months) of $33.37 (the national base beneficiary premium for 2022) or $9.68 each month. Since the monthly penalty is always rounded to the nearest $0.10, she will pay $9.70 each month in addition to her plan’s monthly premium.

Here’s the math: • .29 (29% penalty) × $33.37 (2022 base beneficiary premium) = $9.68 • $9.68 rounded to the nearest $0.10 = $9.70 • $9.70 = Mrs. Martinez’s monthly late enrollment penalty for 2022 If you get Extra Help, you don’t pay the late enrollment penalty. 22

Elderplan Plus Long-Term Care (HMO D-SNP)

Receiving the care and support you need in the safety and comfort of your own home is important. This plan was designed for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries who need valuable assistance with Long-Term Care at home.

You’ll be happy to know that Elderplan Plus Long-Term Care has no plan premium, no co-payments for doctor and hospital visits, no referrals for doctor visits, and low co-payments for prescription drugs. Plus, you will enjoy an over-the-counter (OTC) benefit, which includes health-related and select grocery items that you can purchase at a store or order online, as well as home delivered meals. New for 2023, you can also use your OTC benefit to pay your home internet bill.*

* Using the OTC benefit for grocery items and meals or to pay your home internet bill are considered Special Supplemental Benefits for the Chronically Ill and are only for eligible members who have certain chronic conditions. Eligible members will be notified and provided instructions on how to access these benefits.

Elderplan Plus Long-Term Care (HMO D-SNP)

The plan also provides transportation to and from medical appointments, worldwide emergency coverage, acupuncture, and Brain Games with BrainHQ®. We also offer the Award-winning Member-to-Member program, which gives our members the opportunity to connect with each other and participate in exciting activities. Whether it’s a walk in the park, grocery shopping, friendly chat, wellness and relaxation activities, cooking demos, or exercise classes, we want you to have options to feel connected.

Perhaps one of the biggest perks of being enrolled in this plan is that you are assigned a dedicated Care Manager who leads a team of caring clinical professionals who are all committed to helping you stay healthy. Your Care Manager will stay in touch with your doctors, as well as help arrange your medical visits and transportation to get you there.They will be your go-to person and will work to help ensure you get the care you need to remain safely at home. In addition, a registered nurse will visit you from time to time to check on you and assess your needs. And, when it comes to who provides your care at home, you have choices. We are happy to provide a Home Health Aide who will assist you with activities such as bathing, dressing and meals. If, however, you prefer someone you already know provide your care, you can pick a friend, neighbor, or in some cases a family member through the Consumer-Directed Personal Assistance Services (CDPAS) program, and they will be paid for their time.
