Medicare Drug Costs

Part D and Medicare Advantage drug coverage sets what beneficiaries pay for prescriptions. Starting in 2025 a yearly out-of-pocket cap limits total drug spending, replacing the old coverage gap.

Starting in 2025, Medicare Part D caps what you pay out of pocket for covered prescriptions each year. The cap is $2,000 in 2025 and rises with inflation to $2,100 in 2026. After you hit it, covered drugs cost you nothing for the rest of the year.
