I've had the same Part D plan for years, but this year my insulin shot up in price. Did the Inflation Reduction Act not fix this yet?

Insulin Price Cap: If you use insulin, Medicare capped monthly insulin costs at $35.00 apiece which began in 2023. Don't let a drug store clerk tell you that it is not $35.00 since they know nothing about Medicare and the Inflation Reduction Act. Furthermore, No-Cost Adult Vaccines: since 2023, vaccines under Medicare Part D are available at no cost to adults which can keep you protected without unexpected expenses. However, we cannot predict if insulin may be on the rise in the future due to our global economy.
However, NEVER simply retain the original Part D plan that you started with, since the volatility of pharmaceuticals is rampant at this time. Always use Medicare.gov and investigate if from one year to the next, not just insulin but all of your Rx's may have changed "TIERS". There are five drug tiers: Tier 1 is Preferred Generic, Tier 2 is Non-Preferred Generic, Tier 3 is Preferred Brand Name, Tier 4 is Non-Preferred Brand Name, and Tier 5 is a Specialty drug which is very expensive. The lower the tier, the cheaper the copay. Plus, be sure to use your plan's "Preferred" pharmacy & not the closest one to your home or the one with a drive-in window. That could cost you a lot of $$ over a 1 year time!!

Plans are insured or covered by a Medicare Advantage (HMO, PPO and PFFS) organization with a Medicare contract and/or a Medicare-approved Part D sponsor. Enrollment in the plan depends on the plan’s contract renewal with Medicare. We do not offer every plan available in your area. Any information we provide is limited to those plans we do offer in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE to get information on all of your options.

Out-of-pocket costs change every year for all kinds of reasons.
It's in your best interest to shop your Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, Plan G, between October 15th and December 7th.
