difference in preferred retail cost sharing and standard retail cost sharing
There may be 2 two types of pharmacies in a Part D pharmacy network: Preferred pharmacy: This term refers to a smaller number of pharmacies within a planâs network that have agreed to charge a lower cost for your medication. When you use a preferred pharmacy, your cost-share, which is your copayment or coinsurance, will lower your medication costs. Standard pharmacy: This term refers to the pharmacies that participate in your planâs network that will charge a higher copayment or coinsurance than if you use a preferred pharmacy.
