Key Considerations for 2025

Enhanced vs. Basic Plans

Some enhanced Part D plans already had lower out-of-pocket maximums. With the new $2,000 cap, basic plans may now offer similar protection at a lower premium.

Cost Calculation Changes

Under the new rules, manufacturer discounts in the coverage gap phase no longer count toward your true out-of-pocket costs. This affects how quickly you'll reach the $2,000 cap.
