Trump Administration Releases 5-Part Plan for Medicare Part D

With concern over the rising costs of prescription drug costs, the Trump Administration’s FY2019 budget proposal includes a proposed 5-part plan that would change several features of the Part D drug benefit.

The following proposals are part of the Administration’s 5-part plan for Part D:

  1. Share rebates with Part D enrollees
  2. Change the calculation of “TrOOP”
  3. Add an out-of-pocket limit to Part D and change reinsurance
  4. Relax Part D formulary standards
  5. Eliminate cost sharing for generics for low-income enrollees
