In 2026, a new federal cap will limit annual out-of-pocket costs for covered prescriptions to $2,100. Once your deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance hit that cap, you won\u2019t pay anything more for those covered medications for the rest of the year. What\u2019s more, beneficiaries can opt to spread eligible out-of-pocket drug expenses into manageable monthly payments, easing the burden of large pharmacy bills. It\u2019s important to note that this cap applies only to drugs included in your Part D plan and doesn\u2019t cover premiums, noncovered prescriptions, or certain physician-administered medications. At K C Legacy Insurance Solutions, we know that formularies, pharmacy networks, and costs can still change from year to year. That\u2019s why we emphasize annual plan reviews\u2014so you can make informed, confident choices about your healthcare and financial security. As always, our goal is to bring clarity and peace of mind as you protect your health and legacy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planning for retirement just became a bit more predictable for those on Medicare Part D.
