Filling the Medicare Donut Hole



Medicare's prescription coverage gap is getting noticeably smaller and easier to manage
this year for millions of older and disabled people with high drug costs.

 Here’s a little good news for Medicare recipients or those who
  expect to be Medicare recipients before long: according to a
  report from ABC News regarding the latest Medicare
  figures, the cost of falling into the “donut hole” is shrinking.
  The “donut hole” refers, as many know too well, to the
  coverage gap between the point where a Medicare recipient has
  spent too much of his Medicare Part D benefits to continue
  receiving full coverage, and the point where he has spent
  enough of his own resources to be eligible for catastrophic
  coverage.

 It’s a common issue in elder care and elder law, relating to the
  new health-care reform act, and with implications for NY estate
  planning and especially for New York asset protection for the
  elderly. The donut hole is easy to fall into, especially for those
  taking expensive medication. But in response to the Affordable
  Coverage and Patient Protection Act, however, pharmaceutical
  companies have begun offering a 50% discount on medications
  to Medicare recipients stuck in the donut hole. This has resulted
  in substantial savings.

 The average Medicare beneficiary prior to this change would,
  by this time in the year, already have spent over $1,500 on
  prescriptions. However, the new law drops that expense to just
  $901. Of course, this is an average, and each individual will
  spend more or less depending on exactly what medications are
  prescribed. But in all cases where a Medicare recipient falls into
  the donut hole, substantial savings should be expected.
