Medicare Part - D Coverage Gap - Tis the Season

After spending their annual deductible, Medicare Part D enrollees pay 25% of the cost of medicine until they have spent the main benefit limit. At this point, participants are in the so-called "Donut Hole" coverage gap. In the gap, beneficiaries pay 100% of their medicine costs until they spend enough that Catastrophic coverage begins. Many seniors may never reach the catastrophic limit and will be paying 100% of their prescription costs for the remainder of the year. This is where the benefit of a free Prescription Drug Discount Program can take a bite out of the coverage gap.

The SilverGrace FREE Prescription Drug Discount Program provides discounts on drugs and other health care supplies at participating pharmacies. You can immediately save 10% to 85% on the cost of thousands of brand-name and generic prescriptions. Discounts average 15% for brand-name drugs and 46% for generics

There are no limits on medications, and you can use the card at more than 50,000 pharmacies nationwide. No enrollment is necessary. Simply present the card with a valid prescription at a participating pharmacy. The pharmacist will apply the discount, saving you money on the spot! One card can be used by your entire family.
