Prescription Drug Plan Costs & Benefits
SCAN Balance includes an enhanced benefit Medicare Part D plan (PDP). Enhanced plans have a higher actuarial value than basic plans. Actuarial value simply refers to the percentage of cost that's covered by the plan.
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: | $29.66 |
| 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
The Medicare Part D annual deductible with this plan is $0.00. You must pay this amount at the pharmacy before SCAN Health Plan begins paying its share.
Prescription Drug Plan Out-of-Pocket Costs

| Drug Tier | Retail | Mail Order | |

Health Plan Compatibility
Special Needs Plans (SNPs) under Medicare Advantage typically do not work with other types of health insurance. If you have Medicare Part A or Part B and decide to join an SNP plan, you will be removed from Original Medicare. Furthermore, you cannot be enrolled in an SNP plan and hold a Medigap Insurance policy at the same time.
With a D-SNP, members retain their existing Medicaid plan and benefits. Veterans who have VA Health Benefits may also be able to receive care at their local VA hospital.
