 Tip
Sheets from CMS on Coverage Gaps
Many health insurance plans have limits on how much they will cover for
prescription drugs. Medicare drug plans provide special coverage if you
have an unexpected illness or injury that results in extremely high drug
costs. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services provides two tip sheets
if your drug plan has a coverage gap. Click the links below:
