Mutual of Omaha PDP: 2023 PDP Specialty Pricing Issue

Sourced from MOO broker communication from 10/17/2022:

Mutual of Omaha Rx℠ is committed to helping you find the right Prescription Drug Plan for your clients. We recently identified a pricing issue on specialty drugs on Plan Finder, which shows costs too low. Until the Plan Finder pricing files are updated, the mail order costs will show up incorrectly.

We are looking into the error and the Medicare.gov schedule is set and will be updated on October 24, 2022. We are working with Connecture and Sunfire to see if pricing can be updated sooner.

Pricing Issue Highlights:

• This only impacts mail order pricing
• This only impacts a subset of specialty National Drug Codes (NDCS)
• Plan Finder pricing will be updated on October 24, 2022

Clients who purchase a Mutual of Omaha Rx plan, while the pricing is incorrect will receive notification from us.

Mutual of Omaha Plan N Savings

Mutual of Omaha’s communication from 11/5/20:

For your clients, Plan N is that well-worn, predictable path that gives them the protection they need with premiums they’ll love. For those looking to save, our Plan N rates are some of the best in the industry. It covers everything Plan G does except small copays and the rare excess charges, and its predictable out-of-pocket cost helps keep premiums low — especially thanks to our household discount.

Your secret weapon … household discount

For adults living together, our household discounts are like teriyaki beef jerky at 20,000 feet. Our 12% discount — available in most states — has some of the least restrictive eligibility requirements in the industry, so most people will qualify. See the application for each state’s specific requirements.
