1 2015 National Training Program Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage Parts A, B and D Session Objectives This session should help you Differentiate when/under what scenarios drugs are covered under the various parts of Medicare Part A vs. Part B vs. Part D 2 The Basics Medicare has 4 parts A: Hospital coverage B: Outpatient medical coverage C: Medicare Advantage D: Prescription Drug Coverage Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage 1

2 Medicare Benefit Structure Part A Hospital Insurance Part B Medical Insurance Part C Medicare Advantage Plans (like HMOs/PPOs) Includes Part A, Part B, and sometimes Part D coverage Part D Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage 4 Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage Prescription drug coverage under Part A, Part B, or Part D depends on Medical necessity Health care setting Medical indication (why you need it the drug) Any special drug coverage requirements This information applies if you have Original Medicare 5 PART A 6 Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage 2

3 Part A Prescription Drug Coverage Part A generally pays for all drugs during a covered inpatient stay Received as part of treatment in a hospital or skilled nursing facility Drugs used in hospice care for symptom control and pain relief only 7 PART B 8 Self Administered Drugs in Hospital Outpatient Settings Hospital Admission vs. Observation Status Distinction is KEY! Part B doesn t cover self administered drugs in a hospital outpatient setting Unless integral to the procedure or hospital service If enrolled in Part D, drugs may be covered If not admitted to hospital May have to pay and submit for reimbursement 9 Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage 3

4 Part B Prescription Drug Coverage Part B provides outpatient drug coverage in limited situations Most injectable and infusible drugs given as part of a doctor s service Antigens administered for allergy testing Drugs and biologicals used for the treatment of End Stage Rena Disease Drugs which require use of Part B covered durable medical equipment (DME) 10 Part B Part D Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage 4

5 Medicare Part B vs. Part D Some drugs/drug classes may be covered by either Part B or Part D depending on the situation Drug classes where such uncertainty exists: Insulin Vaccines Hepatitis B vaccine Immunosuppressants Oral anti cancer drugs Oral anti emetic drugs Erythropoietin Medicare Part B vs. Part D? BV is a 68 year old beneficiary with type 1 diabetes, congestive heart failure, and chronic pain. BV takes all of her medications orally except her insulins; one of which she self injects 5 10 minutes before each meal and the other which she injects every evening. BV presents her Medicare card which identifies that she has both Medicare Parts A and B. She also shows a separate card which shows that she has a Part D plan. BV gives both cards to the pharmacy. Based on the above presented information, which part of Medicare should the pharmacy bill for BV s insulins? Answer: Medicare Part D; Medicare Part B covers external insulin pumps and the insulin that the device uses under durable medical equipment for people who meet certain conditions. Since BV does not have a pump (this is evident by the fact that she self injects multiple times a day) the insulin would not be covered under Part B, and thus her Part D plan should be billed. Coverage category: Insulin Scenario: Beneficiary would like to fill their insulin Part B Administered with an insulin pump Part D All other situations Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage 5

6 Coverage category: Vaccines Scenario: Prophylactic Vaccines Part B flu, pneumococcal, and Hepatitis B* (medium high risk individuals) vaccines Part D for all other vaccines Coverage category: Hepatitis B vaccine Scenario: Beneficiary would like to receive the Hepatitis B vaccine series Part B Medium/High risk beneficiary Part D All other beneficiaries Medicare Part B vs. Part D? GH is a 73 year old beneficiary who has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and a thyroid disorder. After consulting with her health care provider, GH realizes that she needs to get the Hepatitis B vaccine series. GH has both parts of Original Medicare and a stand alone prescription drug plan through Medicare. GH proceeds to go to her local pharmacy and indicates that she wouldlikethefirstdoseofthehepatitis B vaccine series. Based on the above presented information, which part of Medicare should the pharmacy bill for her first Hepatitis B vaccine dose? Answer: Medicare Part B; because GH has diabetes, which places her in a High Risk category, the Hepatitis B vaccine series would be covered under Medicare Part B. Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage 6

7 Hepatitis B Risk Categories Intermediate risk groups Staff in institutions for the mentally handicapped Workers in health care professions who have frequent contact with blood/blood derived body fluids during routine work High risk: ESRD Hemophilia Clients of institutions for the mentally handicapped Those who live in the same household as a HBV carrier Homosexual men Illicit injectable drug abusers Diabetes Medicare Part B vs. Part D? GH is an 82 year old beneficiary with autoimmune hepatitis. She was recently prescribed the immunosuppressant prednisone to help with her condition. GH has both parts of Original Medicare and a stand aloneprescriptiondrugplan(partd).ghgoestothe pharmacy to get her prescription of prednisone filled. Based on the above presented information, which part of Medicare should the pharmacy bill for GH s prednisone? Answer: Medicare Part D. Drugs used for immunosuppressive therapy in a beneficiary that received a transplant from a Medicare approved facility would be billable to Medicare Part B, but since that does not appear to be the case GH s Part D plan should be billed for her prednisone prescription. Coverage category: Immunosuppressants Scenario: Drugs used for immunosuppressive therapy in a beneficiary that received a transplant from a Medicare approved facility Part B for Medicare covered transplant Part D for all other situations Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage 7

8 Coverage category: Oral chemotherapy agents used in cancer treatment Scenario: Oral chemotherapy drugs for which there is an infusible version of the drug Part B for cancer treatment Part D for all other indications Coverage category: Oral anti emetic drugs Scenario: Oral anti nausea drugs used in cancer treatment as replacement for IV anti emetic drugs before, at, or within 48 hours of chemotherapy Part B within 48 hours of receiving chemo NOTE: In order to bill Part B, CMS requires that the prescriber indicate on the prescription that the oral anti emetic is being used as full therapeutic replacement for an IV anti emetic drug as part of a CA chemotherapeutic regimen. Part D for all other situations Coverage category: Erythropoietin Scenario: Treatment of anemia for a person with ESRD who is on dialysis Part B treatment of anemia for beneficiaries with chronic renal failure undergoing dialysis Part D for all other situations Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage 8

9 PART D 25 Prescription Drug Coverage Two ways to get outpatient prescription drug coverage through Medicare 1. Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plan (MA PD) Part C Bundles health & Rx coverage together 2. A stand alone Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) NOTE: A patient CANNOT add a PDP to an MA PD Part D Formulary Requirements Each plan will have its own formulary Each formulary must include all therapeutic drug classes Must cover a minimum of two agents from each drug class The two drug minimum must be met through the provision of two chemically distinct drugs Plans must have an authorization process for non formulary medications Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage 9

10 Protected Classes ( Classes of Clinical Concerns ) All plans should cover all or substantially all of the drugs in six therapeutic categories: Antidepressants Anticonvulsants Antipsychotics Antiretrovirals Antineoplastics Immunosuppressants Medicare Part D Excluded List Weight loss or weight gain Fertility promotion Cosmetic purposes/hair growth Erectile dysfunction used for treatment of sexual dysfunction Products for cough/cold symptom relief Prescription vitamins/minerals OTC drugs Medicare Part D Excluded Drugs Certain plans may cover these drugs as a supplemental benefit to their plan. Not benchmark plans! However, any amount you spend for a drug in one of these categories is not counted toward any deductibles, initial coverage or out ofpocket limits. Does not count towards TrOOP!
