The Standard Benefit for Medicare Part D for 2006 has been set by CMS.

Medicare Part D, Prescription drug benefits has a $250 deductible after which the benefit is 75% coverage of the next $2000, so the covered person will pay $500 of that $2000.

After that is a $2850 ‘donut hole’ which is not covered at all, and then 95% coverage for any covered prescriptions from then on.

Blue Cross Blue Shield California and rates for all states

Blue Shield of California has filed an application with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to offer a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) to all Medicare-eligible Californians. The application is currently being reviewed by CMS. Here’s what we expect to happen next:

October 2005
Blue Shield of California will be sending educational packages about Medicare PDPs to all agents, information about how Blue Shield members may be affected, and how agents can help them make the decisions that meet their needs.

Send Blue Shield Medicare Supplement clients notification letters about their prescription drug coverage choices.

November 2005
Blue Shield of California will mail notifications letters to Medicare-eligible members enrolled in individual and family plan, and group plans, about their prescription drug coverage choices.

November 15, 2005
The Medicare Prescription Drug Plan enrollment period begins, and carriers offering Medicare Prescription Drug Plans can start accepting enrollment applications.

January 1, 2006
Medicare Prescription Drug Plan coverage begins for Blue Shield of California members who enroll by December 31, 2005.

May 15, 2006
This is the final day that Blue Shield of California members who have non-creditable prescription drug coverage or no prescription drug coverage can choose a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan with no late enrollment penalty.
Except for certain circumstances, such as moving outside the Medicare PDP’s service area, members are locked into the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan they elected until the next open enrollment period, at which time they can make an election change for a January 1, 2007 effective date.

November 15, 2006
Open enrollment for 2007 begins. Members can remain in or drop their current Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, or enroll in another Medicare Prescription Drug Plan for a January 1, 2007 effective date. However, if they drop their Medicare Prescription Drug Plan coverage, they will have to pay the late penalty to enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan in the future.
