What happens after the coverage gap?
After you pay a specified amount of true out-of-pocket expenses (for 2009 the amount is $4,350; for 2010 the amount is $4,550) for your covered Part D medications, most of your costs for prescriptions included in the Aetna Medicare Rx® Plans (PDP) will be covered, subject to modest cost sharing. • For 2009 the cost sharing will be the greater of 5% or $2.40 for covered generic drugs or drugs treated like generics and $6.00 for covered brand drugs. • For 2010 the cost sharing will be the greater of 5% or $2.50 minimum for covered generic prescription drugs or drugs treated like generics and $6.30 minimum for covered brand-name prescription drugs.
