The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) released their final rule April 1 with policy changes. In 2025, the Coverage Gap phase will be eliminated. A newly defined standard Part D benefit will consist of only three phases: annual deductible, initial coverage, and catastrophic coverage. The annual out-of-pocket threshold for members will be capped at $2,000. The financial liability of enrollees, Part D sponsors, drug manufacturers, and CMS will also change next year.
How will all these policy changes impact your Group Medicare plan and what actionable steps should you take to minimize potential financial impact?Save your seat in our live webinar, learn from our experts, and get ahead of change in 2025.
In our second informational webinar on CMS changes, our CEO John Dulczak and Chief Product Officer Sheela Andrews, Pharm D., will review important updates outlined in the CMS final rule and implications to Group Medicare Advantage and Part D benefit plans in 2025.
