How to Decide if Medicare Part D is Right for You

Although most federal annuitants might benefit from keeping Part D, there are three instances where you could benefit from opting out.

The Inflation Reduction of Act of 2022 included improvements to Medicare Part D, and some have already been enacted—$35 insulin, no more member cost share in the catastrophic phase of coverage, and limits on premium increases. Next year, all Part D plans must include a $2,000/year maximum out-of-pocket limit per enrollee.
