How Medicare Drug Coverage Changes Will Impact You in 2025

Medicare Part D is an optional prescription drug benefit provided through private insurance companies.

Recently, Congress made changes to Medicare Part D to help beneficiaries manage these out-of-pocket costs and better afford their medications. In 2025, there will be an annual out-of-pocket maximum, or limit, on the amount a person with a Medicare Part D plan will have to pay. In 2025, the maximum amount a Part D beneficiary will have to pay for their medications over the calendar year is two-thousand dollars.

A second new benefit, called the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan, allows beneficiaries to opt into a payment option to spread out their costs—up to the new $2,000 maximum limit—into monthly installments, with no interest or fees.

To learn more about these new benefits, including how and when to enroll, watch the Alliance’s new film, “How Medicare Drug Coverage Changes Will Impact You in 2025” and talk to your Medicare Part D insurance plan provider.
