Understanding the Medicare Part D Coverage Gap (Doughnut Hole) #174187 (License: Personal Use)

This infographic depicts the Medicare Part D coverage structure as a donut, with labeled phases: initial coverage period, the doughnut hole (coverage gap), and catastrophic coverage period. It shows a $320 deductible, then illustrates how out-of-pocket costs accumulate-starting at $2,930 (doughnut hole begins) and ending at $6,658 (doughnut hole ends)-with color-coded segments indicating who pays (individual vs. Medicare). The silhouette of a person holding a broken piece symbolizes the financial strain during the gap.

Used on healthcare education pages, Medicare enrollment guides, or insurance comparison sites to explain Part D benefit design; targets seniors and caregivers seeking clarity on prescription drug costs and coverage transitions.
