Prescription coverage

How Medicare Part D works in 2027

The old coverage gap (“donut hole”) is eliminated as of 2025 (three phases now). There’s now a hard yearly cap of $2,400 on what you pay out of pocket for covered drugs, and you can spread those costs across the year with the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan.

Phase 1
Deductible
You pay full price for covered drugs until you meet your plan's deductible (no more than $700 in 2027).
Phase 2
Initial coverage
You and your plan share costs through copays or coinsurance.
Phase 3
Catastrophic coverage
Once your out-of-pocket drug spending hits $2,400, you pay nothing more for covered drugs for the rest of the year.
