requires the beneficiary to pay:
- $295 deductible
- 25% of costs between $295 and $2,700 = $601.25
- 100% of the next $3,453.75 in drug costs (the “coverage gap”),
then
- After the beneficiary has paid $4,350 out-of-pocket,
catastrophic coverage begins.

for generic drugs or $6.00 brand name drugs or a
co-insurance of 5%, whichever is greater.
