For those with MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT POLICIES (and the accompanying age-related premium increases), these out-of-pocket costs or “gaps” are nearly or completely eliminated, depending on the Supplement plan owned. The Part D Prescription Drug Program is a separate purchase. For those with MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS (with premiums as low as $0 per month), these Medicare amounts are replaced with the copays offered by each plan for that year. In most cases, these copays are less than the Original Medicare amounts listed here, even as low as $0. Network pre-authorizations are usually required. Further, Advantage plans have an out-of-pocket maximum limit, which Original Medicare does not have. The Part D Prescription Drug Program is usually a “build-in” part of the Advantage plan. That’s 2023 in a nutshell. Never hesitate to call Lyndon Thomas Insurance with any questions about Medicare or your plan.
