How is the $2000 MOOP calculated?

That's about it. I think UHC is the only one who got it right. They explained it like this--- They base the MOOP on the standard coinsurance of 25% or something like that. Take a tier 3 drug. If it's $47/month copay, but 25% of the retail cost of the drug is more like $100 they'll credit the $100 toward the MOOP. So some people will pay 2K and reach the MOOP and some will pay far less. According to Sunfire calculations, I have a lady and her husband who will hit the MOOP in October and neither one of them will pay more than 8 or 900 for the year.

All the other companies I went to training said it was actual MOOP. I haven't look on medicare.gov to see what they say.

just show the customer the print out from drug cost calculator you use (S&S, Medicare .gov etc..), walk them through it, and let the print out do the math for you.

Cool, that's your prerogative. No skin off my ass.

Caveat, not a software engineer.

The dude is insufferable. I think he has a daily quota for the number of vacant replies he must publish every day. He’s like the beta version of ChatGPT, before they discovered how to make it valuable.

It's a little more complicated than that. The recording of that webinar Millwood mentioned is here. There are some really good visuals that explain it in detail

Caveat, I beat up software engineers.

Be careful Toto. He's in Kansas.

He's liable to drop an entire house on your ass.
