Medicare’s $2,000 cap on what beneficiaries pay out-of-pocket for prescription drugs covered by the health insurance program will begin on Jan. 1.

The price cap will apply to drugs under Medicare Part D. With roughly 53 million people across the country on this plan in 2024, the cap is projected to lower costs for many of those enrolled.
