Medicare Part D "donut hole" calculator

AARP has developed a new "donut hole" calculator tool for individuals on Medicare Part D plans. The "donut hole" is a coverage gap when Medicare Part D beneficiaries have to pay 100% out of pocket for their drugs. The calculator is a web based tool that individuals can use to see their out of pocket spending by month, or look up lower cost drugs for their conditions. Click on the link to open the calculator http://doughnuthole.aarp.org/.
