A low-Income Subsidy (LIS) member could be assigned to how many copay categories?

A Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) member can be assigned to four different copay categories, which are structured to accommodate varying levels of income and financial need. These categories typically include:

1. Full subsidy for qualified individuals who have the lowest income, allowing them to pay minimal copayments for covered drugs.
2. Partial subsidy for those who may have slightly higher income levels but still require assistance with prescription costs, resulting in higher copayments compared to those in the full subsidy category.
3. Categories based on the cost of drugs, where copay amounts are determined by the formulary tier a medication falls under, such as generic versus brand-name drugs.

This structured approach ensures that members receive copayment assistance reflective of their individual financial situations, ultimately improving access to necessary medications while reducing out-of-pocket expenses.
