I must be really bad at my job... or I just naturally operate at a much slower speed... or both

Then why won't they announce the premium?

I just got an email that the national average premium is $5.92. Sounds like it’s going down

Don't care, that can't be right.

Current national average PDP is $33. To get to $6 average you need a bunch of $0 premium PDP's.

If that's the case ($0 premium) the money has to come from somewhere. That would mean a LOT of cost shifting to higher copay's.

Also, a $6 average will bring late penalties down considerably.

It’s the SmartRx replacement plan that has that national average premium, not all PDP’s.

Ahhhh . . . gotcha

I can work with that ($6) premium . . . that's what many of my clients have.

And they claim select $10 insulin, an improved formulary, and lower tier 2 copays. I’m assuming still after the DED though.

Guess we wait and see . . . carriers are quite adept at sleight of hand tricks . . . the devil is in the details

My clients that enroll in SilverScript never use the plan, they just buy it (because it is cheap) to avoid the penalty.
