Prescription Plans (Part D)

Part D is the part of Medicare that covers prescription medications. Original Medicare doesn't include it, you enroll in a separate plan to get this coverage.

You must have minimum essential prescription coverage to avoid a late-enrollment premium penalty that lasts as long as you have Medicare. Even if you take no medications today, a basic plan protects you from the penalty.

Plans differ in which pharmacies they favor and which medications they cover at what tier. We match a plan to the actual prescriptions you take, and re-check it every year, because plan formularies change.
