WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act requires Medicare Part D plans to cap insulin costs at $35 per month per covered prescription starting in 2023, but to get the savings, diabetic Medicare beneficiaries first need to confirm that their insulin will be covered by their plan next year, warns the Senior Citizens League (TSCL). "If your insulin isn't covered by your plan, the $35 cap will not apply and you could wind up with thousands of dollars in pharmacy bills," says Mary Johnson, a Medicare, and Social Security policy analyst for The Senior Citizen League.
