Prescription Drug (Part D)
Anyone enrolled in Medicare is able to join a prescription drug coverage (Part D). To obtain Medicare drug coverage, you must enroll in a plan run by a private insurance company or other private company approved by Medicare. Each plan can vary in cost and drugs covered.
There are two ways to get Medicare prescription drug coverage:
- Medicare Prescription Drug Plans - These plans (sometimes called "PDPs") add stand-alone drug coverage to your existing Medicare health coverage such as Original Medicare, Medicare Supplement, or certain types of Medicare Advantage plans.
- Medicare Advantage Plans that include Medicare Prescription Drug coverage - These plans provide your hospital, medical, as well as your prescription drug coverage (Part D) under one plan. Medicare Advantage Plans with prescription drug coverage are sometimes called "MA-PDs."
