Part D prescription drug coverage is included in Kaiser Permanente Medicare Advantage plans.
When you order prescription refills from a Kaiser Permanente pharmacy or online, you can use the preferred prescription home delivery option for many drugs and have them sent to your home at no extra charge.
You pay the copays and coinsurance shown in the chart below until your total yearly drug costs reach $7,050. (Total yearly drug costs are the amounts paid by both you and any Part D plan during a calendar year.) If you reach the $7,050 limit, you move on to the catastrophic stage and your coverage changes. There is not a coverage gap with the Kaiser Permanente Medicare Advantage plan.
