Health Net has reintroduced the Orange Plan into the Medicare market. The Orange Plan is a plan designed to cover prescription drugs. There is no medical coverage with Health Net’s Orange Plan. Health Net has created two simple options for their Orange Plan. The first option offers a low monthly premium of $25.40 with a deductible of $275 for brand drugs. The first option also gives you great benefits by offering generic drugs for the low co-pay rate of $1 and a $40 co-pay for preferred prescription drugs. The second option offers a slightly higher premium of $38 per month with no deductible! The generic drug co-payment is slightly higher at $5 and the preferred drug co-payment is slightly less at $30.

Health Net’s Orange Plan is available in:

• Colorado
• Connecticut Medicare
• Hawaii
• Massachusetts
• Missouri
• New Jersey
• Oregon
• Rhode Island
• Vermont
• Washington

            The Orange Plan is designed to cover the gaps in Medicare. The Orange Plan will not cover drugs that are already covered through Medicare Part B. In general, The Orange Plan is set up to cover prescription drugs, vaccinations, and biological products or supplies. You can search through Health Nets formulary drug list to see what is covered. After your enrolled, you can pick up your prescription drug that is in Health Net’s pharmacy network or you can also use the Mail Order Drug Program! Note: this program is specifically for maintenance medications.
