3 Options That Could Help With Mounting Medicare Part D Costs

AARP released a new report detailing the savings from an important new protection for our nation’s 56 million Medicare drug plans enrollees. The savings, thanks to a provision in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act that AARP championed, will cap out-of-pocket prescription drug costs every year, beginning at $2,000 in January 2025. The report analyzes the number of enrollees that will benefit from the cap by state, age, gender, and race between 2025 and 2029. The findings indicate that Medicare drug plan enrollees who reach the new out-of-pocket cap will see average savings of roughly $1,100, or 56%, in 2025 for their prescription drugs.
