Prescription Drug Plan Costs & Benefits
Imperial Giveback includes a basic benefit Medicare Part D plan (PDP). Basic plans meet the minimum coverage standards set by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). These plans may have higher cost-sharing, deductibles, or limited drug coverage compared to enhanced plans, but they still provide essential prescription drug coverage at a lower premium.
As of 2023, approximately 75% of people on Medicare are enrolled in enhanced plans.
Prescription Drug Plan Premium
Although the prescription drug plan (Part D) premium is bundled with the total plan cost, some plans have supplemental costs and/or offer low-income subsidy (LIS) assistance. LIS, also known as Extra Help, is a Social Security program that helps people with limited income and resources lower or cut Part D costs.
The following table outlines the premium details of this prescription drug plan.
| Basic Part D Premium: | $0.00 |
| Supplemental Part D Premium: | $0.00 |
| Total Part D Premium: | $0.00 |
