Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "doughnut hole" in Medicare prescription drug coverage refers to a gap in coverage where the beneficiary is responsible for paying out of pocket for their prescription drugs. This gap occurs after the initial coverage period and before the beneficiary reaches the catastrophic coverage threshold. Therefore, option D, which states that the doughnut hole provides no benefits until the beneficiary qualifies for the catastrophic level, is the correct answer.
