title: As sales for autoimmune disease drugs go up, donut hole relief is on the way.
abstract: A study published last year in Arthritis & Rheumatology looked at 2,737 formularies for Medicare Part D plans in 50 states and Washington, D.C., from 2013. The researchers found that nearly all plans required coinsurance and that translated into an average out-of-pocket expense of about $2,700.
