    Medicare Part D Clarification

    Jen McL asked me to clear up a confusion she had over the Medicare Drug Plans "doughnut hole".  after listening to last week'sshow. 

    The "doughnut hole" starts once you've paid $2700 out-of-pocket for covered prescription drugs including any deductibles, co-insurance and co-pay amounts.  That's the point where the drug plan stops paying and you are responsible for all prescription drug costs. Once you've paid another $1650 (for a total of $4350 out-of-pocket), the plan begins coverage again.

    At one point in the show I implied the doughnut hole stopped at $2700 rather than $4350.

    Thanks, Jen, for the question!
