What Is a Formulary?
A Formulary is a list of prescription drugs covered by your pharmacy benefit. We generally cover drugs listed in our Formulary as long as they are medically necessary, the prescription is filled at an MVP network pharmacy, and other plan rules are followed.
The MVP Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T) Committee developed and approved our Formulary. The P&T Committee includes practicing doctors, representing a variety of medical specialties, as well as practicing pharmacists and clinical health plan staff members, including medical directors and registered pharmacists. A doctor and pharmacist with training and experience in the care of the elderly and disabled are also included on the Committee.
2025 Prescription Coverage Changes
No "Coverage Gap"
There will be only three Part D Payment Stages in 2025: the Deductible Stage (depending on your plan), Initial Coverage Stage, and Catastrophic Coverage Stage. The “Coverage Gap” (or “donut hole” stage), during which drug costs could significantly increase, has been eliminated.
$2,000 Out-of-Pocket Maximum for Covered Prescriptions
In 2025, all Part D plans have an out-of-pocket maximum of $2,000. This means that once you have paid $2,000 for Part D covered prescriptions, you will pay nothing through December 31. This is significantly lower than the 2024 out-of-pocket maximum of $8,000.
Medicare Prescription Payment Plan
This program may be a helpful option to manage your monthly drug costs if you have high expenses early in the calendar year. It does not save you money or lower your drug costs.
Refer to your Evidence of Coverage (EOC) for specific plan information.
