Open Access Basic with Aetna Medicare Rx Plan FAQs
When you are enrolled in Medicare Part A and/or Part B, your pharmacy benefit will be covered under Aetna Medicare Rx® offered through SilverScript®, a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan (PDP). Below are some frequently asked questions:
-
This is an exciting change offered for the first time in 2024 through the FEHB Program. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) worked with health plans to introduce Medicare Part D prescription drug plans to help you save money. If you’re enrolled in Medicare Part A and/or Part B, your Aetna Direct or Open Access (plan code JN) plan will automatically enroll you in Aetna Medicare Rx® offered through SilverScript®, a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan (PDP). This could mean saving on your prescription costs. The same drugs are covered under the Aetna Medicare Rx plan offered through SilverScript, but copays and coinsurance can be lower. So, depending on your prescriptions, this could offer you a great opportunity to save while still enrolled in your current health plan.
-
The Medicare Part D PDP is a Medicare approved prescription drug plan that is governed by CMS. When you have Aetna Medicare Rx offered by SilverScript your prescription costs will generally be lower.
-
No. Your FEHB premiums will not increase.
However, some members may be required to pay an extra charge, known as the Part D Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA). The extra charge is figured out using your modified adjusted gross income as reported on your IRS tax return from 2 years ago. If this amount is above a certain amount, you’ll pay your FEHB premium and the additional IRMAA. For more information on IRMAA, visit the Medicare website.
