The "donut hole" in Medicare Part D:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "donut hole" in Medicare Part D refers to the period between when the annual individual drug costs are $2250 and $5100 and the patient pays 50% of the costs of brand name drugs (2011). It was partially closed with the federal health-care reform but still exists with patients paying less for brand name drugs during the coverage gap. It may still affect whether patients continue to fill their prescriptions during the coverage gap.
