Drug costs for 2026

Page last updated on: 10/01/25

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
  • A 30-day supply at a standard pharmacy, and
  • A 90-day supply through our preferred mail order pharmacy, Express Scripts or Amazon (with free shipping)

Costs may vary when your plan is provided by an employer.

After you reach $2,100 in drug costs

Once you spend $2,100 out-of-pocket for your Part D drugs during the year, then you enter what's called the "catastrophic stage," and you'll pay $0 for your Part D prescription drugs for the remainder of the plan year.
