Fewer in Medicare Part D hit the doughnut hole

In 2009 there were fewer Medicare Part D drug plan enrollees that fell into the doughnut hole. 19% went into the doughnut hole in 2009, compared to 26% in 2007.

The doughnut hole is a nickname for the Medicare Part D coverage gap. The coverage gap exists after you spend a certain amount on drugs in a year, then after that you are responsible for the remainder until you reach a certain level, known as the catastrophic coverage level.

This is good news, and as more and more drugs are becoming generic then we will see fewer people in the doughnut hole.

This is good news, I know I almost went in the doughnut hole last year. Maybe they can figure out how to get rid of the doughnut hole and make it easier to understand. By and large though I have been happy with the Part D of Medicare.
