You can't judge a Part D plan on its monthly premium or annual deductible. You have to look at the overall cost of your prescriptions. There are basic benefit plans with a lower monthly premium than this one. That's okay if the plan covers your prescriptions at the best price. Pay attention to the deductible. This plan is not like other plans. It does not exclude any tiers from the deductible. Other plans do.
