If my prescription drug plan has a gap period, should I use my NassauRx prescription drug discount card during the gap to reduce the cost of medications that would usually be covered by my plan?
It depends. If your prescription drug plan has a gap period, such as the Medicare “doughnut hole,” that requires you to pay a certain amount of prescription drug costs out of pocket before coverage resumes, and you are sure you will not meet that spending threshold before the calendar year ends, you may want to use the NassauRx card to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. If you are not sure, you should continue purchasing your medication through your prescription plan.
