The coverage gap begins after you and your drug plan have spent a certain amount for covered drugs. In 2016, once you and your plan have spent $3, 310 ($3, 700 in 2017) on covered drugs, you're in the coverage gap. This amount may change each year. • SISC plans do NOT have a Part D coverage gap • Plan ahead so that you maintain continuous coverage • Notify SISC/YCCD if you plan to terminate coverage • Terminate coverage with YCCD only after you have a new plan in place • Avoid Medicare late enrollment penalties
