Prescription Drug Plan Costs & Benefits
Verda Noble Care 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.
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 |
| Low Income Premium Subsidy: | $18.30 |
| Low Income Premium Subsidy CMS Pays: | $0.00 |
| Low Income Subsidy Premium: | $0.00 |
If you would like more information about the Extra Help program, you can refer to the Social Security Extra Help page.
Prescription Drug Plan Deductible
