RxCAP Act of 2019

Reducing Existing Costs Associated with Pharmaceuticals for Seniors Act of 2019 or the RxCAP Act of 2019

This bill eliminates beneficiary cost-sharing above the Medicare prescription drug benefit's annual out-of-pocket threshold beginning in plan year 2020. Under current law, the Medicare prescription drug benefit provides coverage above that threshold only with cost-sharing in the form of either copayment or coinsurance.
