29	Prescription Drugs	Drugs Covered under Medicare Part B General 20 % of the cost for Part B-covered chemotherapy drugs and other Part B-covered drugs. Drugs Covered under Medicare Part D General This plan uses a formulary. The plan will send you the formulary. You can also see the formulary at www.AARPMedicareComplete.com/ourplans/searchformulary.html on the web. Different out-of-pocket costs may apply for people who have limited incomes, live in long term care facilities, or have access to Indian/Tribal/Urban (Indian Health Service). The plan offers national in-network prescription coverage (i.e., this would include 50 states and DC). This means that you will pay the same cost-sharing amount for your prescription drugs if you get them at an in-network pharmacy outside of the plan's service area (for instance when you travel). Total yearly drug costs are the total drug costs paid by both you and the plan. The plan may require you to first try one drug to treat your condition before it will cover another drug for that condition. Some drugs have quantity limits. Your provider must get prior authorization from AARP MedicareComplete Plan 1 (HMO) for certain drugs. You must go to certain pharmacies for a very limited number of drugs, due to special handling, provider coordination, or patient education requirements for these drugs that cannot be met by most pharmacies in your network. These drugs are listed on the plan's website, formulary, and printed materials, as well as on the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder on Medicare.gov. If the actual cost of a drug is less than the normal cost-sharing amount for that drug, you will pay the actual cost, not the higher cost-sharing amount. If you request a formulary exception for a drug and AARP MedicareComplete Plan 1 (HMO) approves the exception, you will pay Tier 3 Non-Preferred Generic Non-Preferred Brand cost-sharing for that drug. In-Network $0 deductible. Initial Coverage You pay the following until total yearly drug costs reach $2,830: Retail Pharmacy Tier 1 Preferred Generic Brand Tier 2 Generic Preferred Brand Tier 3 Non-Preferred Generic Non-Preferred Brand Tier 4 Specialty $5 copay for a one-month (31-day) supply of drugs in this tier $38 copay for a one-month (31-day) supply of drugs in this tier $74 copay for a one-month (31-day) supply of drugs in this tier 33 % coinsurance for a one-month (31-day) supply of drugs in this tier $15 copay for a three-month (90-day) supply of drugs in this tier $114 copay for a three-month (90-day) supply of drugs in this tier $222 copay for a three-month (90-day) supply of drugs in this tier 33 % coinsurance for a three-month (90-day) supply of drugs in this tier Long Term Care Pharmacy Tier 1 Preferred Generic Brand Tier 2 Generic Preferred Brand Tier 3 Non-Preferred Generic Non-Preferred Brand Tier 4 Specialty $5 copay for a one-month (31-day) supply of drugs in this tier $38 copay for a one-month (31-day) supply of drugs in this tier $74 copay for a one-month (31-day) supply of drugs in this tier 33 % coinsurance for a one-month (31-day) supply of drugs in this tier Mail Order Tier 1 Preferred Generic Brand Tier 2 Generic Preferred Brand Tier 3 Non-Preferred Generic Non-Preferred Brand Tier 4 Specialty $10 copay for a three-month (90-day) supply of drugs in this tier from a preferred mail order pharmacy. $104 copay for a three-month (90-day) supply of drugs in this tier from a preferred mail order pharmacy. $212 copay for a three-month (90-day) supply of drugs in this tier from a preferred mail order pharmacy. 33 % coinsurance for a three-month (90-day) supply of drugs in this tier from a preferred mail order pharmacy. $15 copay for a three-month (90-day) supply of drugs in this tier from a non-preferred mail order pharmacy. $114 copay for a three-month (90-day) supply of drugs in this tier from a non-preferred mail order pharmacy. $222 copay for a three-month (90-day) supply of drugs in this tier from a non-preferred mail order pharmacy. 33 % coinsurance for a three-month (90-day) supply of drugs in this tier from a non-preferred mail order pharmacy.

Catastrophic Coverage After your yearly out-of-pocket drug costs reach $ 4,550, you pay the greater of: A $ 2.50 copay for generic (including brand drugs treated as generic) and a $ 6.30 copay for all other drugs, or 5 % coinsurance. Out-of-Network Plan drugs may be covered in special circumstances, for instance, illness while traveling outside of the plan's service area where there is no network pharmacy. You may have to pay more than your normal cost-sharing amount if you get your drugs at an out-of-network pharmacy. In addition, you will likely have to pay the pharmacy's full charge for the drug and submit documentation to receive reimbursement from AARP MedicareComplete Plan 1 (HMO). Out-of-Network Initial Coverage You will be reimbursed up to the full cost of the drug minus the following for drugs purchased out-of-network until total yearly drug costs reach $2,830: Out-of-Network Pharmacy Tier 1 Preferred Generic Brand Tier 2 Generic Preferred Brand Tier 3 Non-Preferred Generic Non-Preferred Brand Tier 4 Specialty $5 copay for a one-month (31-day) supply of drugs in this tier $38 copay for a one-month (31-day) supply of drugs in this tier $74 copay for a one-month (31-day) supply of drugs in this tier 33 % coinsurance for a one-month (31-day) supply of drugs in this tier Out-of-Network Coverage Gap After your total yearly drug costs reach $2,830, you pay 100 % of the pharmacy's full charge for drugs purchased out-of-network until your yearly out-of-pocket drug costs reach $4,550.

Out-of-Network Catastrophic Coverage After your yearly out-of-pocket drug costs reach $ 4,550, you will be reimbursed for drugs purchased out-of-network up to the full cost of the drug minus the following: A $ 2.50 copay for generic (including brand drugs treated as generic) and a $ 6.30 copay for all other drugs, or 5 % coinsurance.
