Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage

Medicare beneficiaries across the nation have the option of enrolling in Medicare Part D to get help with their prescription drug costs.

Medicare prescription drug coverage is available in two ways. If you have Original Medicare (Part A and Part B), Medicare Part D isn’t automatically included. Instead, you can get this coverage by enrolling in a stand-alone Medicare Prescription Drug Plan that works alongside your Original Medicare benefits.

If you have Medicare Part C, you can get prescription drug benefits by enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan that includes this coverage. Also known as Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plans, these plans give you the option to get your Medicare health and prescription drug benefits covered under a single plan.

Medicare Part D coverage is available through private insurance companies that are contracted by Medicare, so costs and availability may differ between Medicare plans, insurance companies, and location.

Medicare Part D eligibility and enrollment

You’re eligible for Medicare prescription drug coverage if:

  • You’re enrolled in Medicare Part A and/or Part B, and

  • You also live in the service area of a Medicare plan that includes prescription drug coverage.
