Bill overview
This bill, the Lower Drug Costs for Seniors During COVID-19 Act of 2020, aims to make prescription drug costs more manageable for Medicare and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries during the COVID-19 public health emergency. It expands an existing provision that allows seniors to receive a 90-day supply of medication at once. The bill now allows these beneficiaries to pay for their medication in installments instead of a lump sum, providing more flexibility in managing their healthcare expenses. This change is intended to ease the financial burden of prescription drugs during the ongoing crisis.
