Medicare Part D offers prescription drug coverage for everyone with Medicare. It's an essential addition for those who need medications regularly.
Key Features of Part D
(aka Prescription Drug Insurance)
Why It Matters
Coverage: Helps cover the cost of prescription drugs, may lower prescription drug costs, and protect against higher costs in the future.
Enrollment: Offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. You can choose a standalone Part D plan or a Medicare Advantage Plan that includes drug coverage.
Cost: Varies by plan and region. There might be a monthly fee in addition to the Part B premium.
Medications can be expensive. With Part D, you can ensure that you're covered and can access necessary medications without breaking the bank. As always, it's important to know your medications and review your plan to see what is and isn't covered.
