WASHINGTON — A new report out from AARP today provides additional insight into the impact of a historic new financial protection for our nation’s nearly 55 million Medicare drug plan enrollees. For the first time ever, beginning January 1, 2025, Medicare drug plans will limit enrollees’ annual out-of-pocket spending to $2,000, thanks to a provision in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act that AARP championed. Specifically, the report shows that 94% of all Part D enrollees expected to reach the new cap in 2025 will have lower total (i.e., premiums and cost sharing) out-of-pocket costs, saving an average of $2,474 nationally. The report also provides state-level data and estimates that 95% of Part D enrollees who will reach the out-of-pocket cap will have lower out-of-pocket health costs in 33 states plus the District of Columbia.
