Aetna Medicare Plan

Please read below about important changes to your Aetna Medicare Advantage plan for 2025. You may have seen on the news that the Center for Medicare Services has made many changes to prescription drug programs for seniors that will be effective for 2025. A brief overview of the most impactful changes to the plan are below and you will receive materials later this fall from Aetna with greater details.  Please review these updates carefully as they will impact your health care coverage and costs:

New Prescription Drug Out-of-Pocket Cap
Beginning in 2025, there will be a $2,000 ($8,000 previously) cap on out-of-pocket costs for prescription medications under Part D.  This change could greatly reduce your annual expenses for prescription drugs.  There is no more Part D “donut hole” or coverage gap.  This change simplifies the way Part D works. Below is an example of how this change will work:
