Drug costs for 2020

The higher a drug's cost level or "tier," the higher the cost. In the chart below, you'll see what you'll pay for each drug tier for a 30-day supply at a preferred retail pharmacy and at a standard pharmacy, and for a 90-day supply through mail order (with free shipping). Costs may vary when your plan is provided by an employer.

After you reach $4,020 in drug costs

Once you and Priority Health combined spend $4,020 for your drugs during the year, then you enter what's called a "coverage gap." During this gap, you'll pay:

• 25% of the cost of your generic drugs
• 25% of the cost of your brand drugs, plus dispensing fee

Then, once your out-of-pocket Part D drug costs reach $6,350, for the rest of the year you pay the greater of:

• 5% of the cost OR
• $3.60 for generic drugs
• $8.95 for all other drugs
