Amount paid by Part D plan for the PDE (drug is not covered by Part D)

This is the net amount paid by the Part D plan (i.e., for enhanced alternative benefits) including cost sharing fill-in and/or non-Part D drugs. This dollar amount is excluded from risk corridor calculations.

Medicare requires Part D plans to cover certain drugs, but some plans may offer benefits that are more generous than the standard benefit by covering drugs that Part D does not cover.
