Medicare Part D Is Changing in 2027: What You Need to Know

Medicare Part D changes for 2027 could affect what you pay for prescription drug coverage, making it important to review your plan before the new year. For 2027, the standard Medicare Part D deductible increases to $700 and the annual out-of-pocket threshold increases to $2,400. Your actual costs, covered medications, pharmacy network, and formulary can vary by plan, so don’t assume your current prescription drug coverage will remain the best option. If you’re still learning how Medicare works, visit our Medicare Basics page for a simple explanation of your Medicare coverage options.

Before choosing or renewing coverage, review your medications, preferred pharmacies, deductible, copays, coinsurance, formulary, and total estimated prescription costs.
