"Q: So is anything else new about the doughnut hole?
A: The amounts determining when you enter and leave the hole have changed. This year, you hit the coverage gap when you and your plan together have spent $2,970, about $40 more than this year. You then must spend another $4,750 out of your pocket, as compared to $4,700 this year, or you and the plan together must have expenses equaling about $6,733 for you exit to the gap.
The brand-name drug discounts you get from the plan in the gap, plus other deductibles and co-pays, count toward total expenses. Remember to carefully track these amounts through statements your plan sends you."
