Prescription Drug Costs & Benefits
Medica Prime Solution Core w/Rx includes an enhanced benefit Medicare Part D plan (PDP). Enhanced plans offer greater coverage than basic plans, typically providing lower cost-sharing, broader drug coverage, and additional benefits, such as covering drugs not included in the standard formulary. These plans usually have higher premiums due to the extra coverage and flexibility they provide, but they cover a larger percentage of overall drug costs.
As of 2023, approximately 75% of people on Medicare are enrolled in enhanced plans.
Part D Prescription Drug Premium
The table below outlines the Part D premium costs for this Medica plan, showing the monthly portion of the total premium dedicated to prescription drug coverage. While the Part D premium is included in the overall plan cost, some plans may have supplemental charges or offer assistance through the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) program. Also known as Extra Help, LIS is a Social Security initiative that helps individuals with limited income and resources reduce or eliminate Part D expenses.
| Basic Part D Premium: | $68.10 |
| Supplemental Part D Premium: | $16.70 |
| Total Part D Premium: | $84.80 |
| Low Income Premium Subsidy: | $50.63 |
