The team at EnlivenHealth decided to put together an FAQ to address the most common concerns and provide guidance on how to move forward with this latest addition to the Medicare landscape. What is the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan (MPPP)?The MPPP is a new payment plan option introduced under the Inflation Reduction Act. Starting in 2025, it allows Medicare beneficiaries with prescription drug plans — including Medicare Advantage enrollees with prescription drug coverage — to spread their out-of-pocket prescription drug costs over the calendar year instead of paying the full amount at the pharmacy.

As community pharmacists, you occupy a unique position in healthcare.
