Research has shown that when patients who are covered by Medicare Part D reach the "donut hole" in coverage they:
1. Ask for extra refills of medication to get them through the months of no coverage
2. Fill their prescriptions less frequently, including critical medications such as warfarin or a statin
3. Fill their critical medications, but hold off on filling less-critical medications
4. Demonstrate no change in their prescription filling pattern
