My pharmacist mentioned the Medicare "donut hole" is going away in 2025. What does that actually mean for me?

Answered by 3 licensed agents

Donut hole going away means that your cost will be less that last if your drugs cost was higher enough for you to get into the donut hole.

Unlike last year, the annual cost of prescriptions are capped at $2,000 which is the catastrophic limit for 2025. This is good news for recipients that are taking multiple and/or brand name prescriptions. Once the $2,000 out of pocket cost are met, the recipient will receive the remainder of the drugs at $0 for the rest of the year.
