Total Estimated Annual Cost for 2013:					$199,499.64

¹ This number includes the amount you pay for drug copays and drug plan premiums, but not any health coverage premiums your plan may charge.

Your overall annual out-of-pocket cost is based on:

• Your premium: What you pay each month to your plan for coverage.
• The amount of your plan's annual deductible (the full cost you pay for your drugs before coverage kicks in) if your plan has one.
• What you pay toward the cost of your drugs in the initial coverage period. You pay either a copayment (a fixed-dollar amount) or coinsurance (a percentage of the drug's full cost) for each prescription. Your plan pays the rest.
• Any payments you make for your drugs during the coverage gap (or "doughnut hole"), when you pay the full price that your plan has negotiated with the manufacturers.
• What you pay (no more than 5 percent of the drug's price) during the catastrophic coverage period (if your costs are high enough to reach the out-of-pocket limit that gets you out of the gap before the end of the year)

Except for your premiums, all the above expenses count toward your out-of-pocket limit for the year. On January 1 of each year, you start counting expenses again.
