Lowering Prescription Drug Costs
Medicare Part D helps cover the cost of prescription medications for people enrolled in Medicare. These plans are offered by private insurance companies that are approved by Medicare and are designed to help reduce the cost of the medications many people rely on every day.
Part D coverage can be purchased as a standalone Prescription Drug plan to work alongside Original Medicare, or it may be included as part of a Medicare Advantage plan that offers prescription drug coverage. Choosing the right plan can help protect you from rising medication costs and make your healthcare expenses more predictable.
Choosing The Right Part D Plan
Not all Prescription Drug plans are the same. Each plan has its own list of covered medications, pharmacy network, and cost structure. Reviewing a few key details can help you select the plan that fits your needs.

Each plan maintains a list of covered medications called a formulary. It is important to confirm that the prescriptions you currently take are included on the plan’s list of covered drugs.
How Part D Works With Other Medicare Coverage
Prescription drug coverage fits into Medicare differently depending on the type of coverage you have.
-
If you are enrolled in Original Medicare, which includes Part A and Part B, you can add a standalone Part D Prescription Drug plan to help cover medication costs.
Getting Help To Cover The Cost Of Your Medications

Some individuals may qualify for financial assistance programs that help reduce the cost of prescription medications.
