Part D coverage details

For 2024 Medica Prime Solution® Enhanced with Rx 2 (Cost) plan members

About your Part D coverage

This plan includes Part D coverage. You move from one coverage stage to the next based on your prescription drug spending during the calendar year. See Chapter 6 in your Evidence of Coverage (EOC) for the full description of your Part D benefits.

Important message about your Part D coverage:


  • What you pay for vaccines: Our plan covers most Part D vaccines at no cost to you, even if you haven’t paid your deductible. Call Member Services for more information.
  • What you pay for insulin: You won’t pay more than $35 for a one-month supply of each insulin product covered by our plan, no matter what cost-sharing tier it’s on, even if you haven’t paid your deductible.

Stage 1: Yearly deductible

Because your plan has no deductible, this payment stage does not apply to you.

Stage 2: Initial coverage

Your share of the cost will vary depending on the drug and where you fill your prescription.

Your plan has 5 cost-sharing tiers. The amounts listed below are what you'll pay for a 30-day fill at preferred pharmacies. 

  • Tier 1 – up to $2
  • Tier 2 – up to $8
  • Tier 3 – up to $35
  • Tier 4 – 50% of prescription cost
  • Tier 5 – 33% of prescription cost
These are your preferred pharmacy copay and coinsurance amounts until the total amount paid by you and Medica for your prescription drugs reaches $5,030 for the calendar year.

Stage 3: Coverage gap

After your total yearly combined drug costs reach $5,030, you pay 25% of the cost for generic prescription drugs and 25% for brand-name drugs until your total out-of-pocket expenses* reach $8,000 for the benefit year.

In stage 3 (called the Coverage Gap), you get a manufacturer-paid 70% discount on covered brand-name drugs. A total of 95%** of the drug cost — including the part covered by the manufacturer discount and your out-of-pocket cost — counts toward your drug costs and helps you move through the Coverage Gap.

 

* Your total out-of-pocket expenses equals the total amount you paid in stages 1 - 3, plus the manufacturer discount paid in stage 3.
** The plan pays 5% of the drug cost.

Stage 4: Catastrophic coverage

You enter the Catastrophic Coverage Stage when your out-of-pocket costs have reached the $8,000 limit for the calendar year. Once you are in the Catastrophic Coverage Stage, you will stay in this payment stage until the end of the calendar year. During this payment state, the plan pays the full cost for your covered Part D drugs. You pay nothing.

These amounts apply for the remainder of the benefit year.

 

Note: The plan's formulary (the list of covered drugs) could change during the plan year. If we remove drugs from our formulary or add prior authorization, quantity limits, and/or step therapy restrictions on a drug, we'll let you know about the change at least 60 days before it becomes effective, or when you request a refill of the drug.
