Q&A with Alexandra Rodriguez
How does the Part D "catastrophic coverage" phase work once I hit the out-of-pocket max?
Answer: Once you hit the max out of pocket, which for 2026 is $2100, as long as your meds are covered on the formulary, are prescribed (not OTC), and not being used off label, you will be covered, 100%.
You may also sign up for the Medication Prescription Payment Plan. This helps to spread the costs of your regular medications over the year.
What do I need to do if I didn't take Medicare at 65 and am now retiring?
Answer: That would depend on whether or not you had "creditable coverage" since turning 65. Usually, if you were insured by your employer and there are more than 20 employees on the employer health insurance plan, all you need is to fill out a form to avoid a penalty.
