What is the Part D out-of-pocket limit for 2026?

Answered by 8 licensed agents

Hi there,

For 2026, the Medicare Part D out‑of‑pocket limit is $2,100. Once you’ve spent that amount on covered prescriptions — including your deductible, copays, and coinsurance — your plan pays 100% of your covered medications for the rest of the year. Premiums don’t count toward that limit, but everything you pay out of pocket for covered drugs does.

The 2026 Medicare Part D MOOP (Maximum Out of Pocket) limit for 2026 is $2,100. This number includes both the cost of your medications and any type of plan deductible you may also have. It DOES NOT include the monthly premium on your plan if you happen to have one.

The 2026 limit is $2,100 in qualifying out-of-pocket spending for covered Part D drugs, including certain payments made on your behalf. After reaching it, you pay no additional cost sharing for covered Part D drugs for the rest of that calendar year. Premiums, noncovered drugs, and Part B medications are not all protected by that same limit.
