Point Out What's New For 2017 Medicare Part D Plans

October 2016

Medicare open enrollment will have patients asking which prescription drug plan to choose for 2017.

What's new for 2017? The annual deductible for most Part D plans will increase from $360 to $400. And the coverage gap, or "donut hole," will begin when TOTAL Rx costs reach $3,700...about $400 more than 2016.
