Medicare Prescription Drug (Part D) Plans

Original Medicare, also known as Parts A & B, does not include prescription drug coverage. Part D is a separate, stand-alone plan that provides prescription drug coverage to supplement your Original Medicare plan.

If you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, your prescription drug coverage will most likely be included as part of that plan.

MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG PLANS

If you are enrolled in Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B, or both, you are eligible to enroll in a Part D Prescription Drug plan. Part D plans are offered by private health insurance companies who contract with the Federal Government to provide prescription drug coverage under a structure and guidelines that have been approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Choosing a Part D prescription drug plan as soon as you sign up for Part B is important for two key reasons: So that you can be sure to get the medications you need at the lowest possible cost, and also to avoid lifetime enrollment penalties for getting your Medicare drug coverage at a later date. If you sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan, in most cases you will get your Part D coverage through that plan. In fact, you cannot have a Medicare Advantage plan and standalone Part D plan at the same time. However, if you have coverage via Original Medicare, with our without a Medigap policy, you will want to consider a stand-alone Part D Prescription Drug plan
