Ex: if an MAPD has $440 deductible for T3-5, would the $150 ($590 (-) $440) apply toward the $2,000 since the plan is “giving” this to the mb? It is not a big credit, but it’s something.

Look for all MAPD’s to have premiums going forward. Zero dollar premiums will be a thing of the past.I believe the full $590 goes towards the $2000 max oop. When I run the BCBS MAPD that has $0.00 premium, $0.00 deductible, and $47.00 Tier 3 for eliquis it shows the client paying $47.00 for 11 months and then their $2000.00 is met. 25% of eliquis is $145.75 so take that x 11 and it's only $1595.00 so that tells me they are counting the full $590 deductible bc $2000.00 is met in November. Total cost for client would be $517.00 for the year for a drug that costs around $600/month.
I mentioned to a BCBS rep at a meeting that they are gonna lose their ass since they are only company with this format, he shrugged his shoulders and said we get paid for it.
Ozempic is even crazier, client would pay $47.00 for 7 months and hit their $2000.00 max oop. $12000/year drug and client will pay $329.00.
Don't think premiums will change but all will have a Part D deductible for sure in 2026.Look for all MAPD’s to have premiums going forward. Zero dollar premiums will be a thing of the past.
