OK, I thought this was taken care of(Obamacare question)...

So I work in prescription benefits, and I just got a call from a pharmacy about a member's copay increasing, I look it up, and the computer says that Benefit Maximum has been exceeded, in other words, his plan isn't going to cover prescription drug costs at all for the rest of the year.

Are there any plans that are exempt from this requirement? If not, I'm assuming its an error his plan will correct as soon as possible.

Since the system I access is for processing, I wouldn't have such details available.

By the way, I was ecstatic about this part of the law about no more annual or lifetime benefit maximums because I really hate the angry phone calls, and frankly, if I could, I'd just give everyone their medications for free.

1. Didn't government allow such old, cruddy plans to continue awhile longer

to appease the ignorant who whined, "but Obama said I could keep my plan if I liked it?"

4. I can't get into too many specifics about the plan itself...

except to say that we don't deal with individual plans, but group plans set up by either employers or unions.

2. Don't know enough about this specific situation, but you may find the following article of interest,

as it discusses the issue of some caps being delayed after 2014...

3. I would imagine this combined with a benefit cap(which isn't supposed to exist)...

will royally screw some people over.
