Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans

Standalone prescription coverage that pairs with Original Medicare or a Medigap plan.

Overview

Part D plans help pay for prescription drugs. Each plan has its own formulary, pharmacy network and pricing tiers, so the right plan depends on the medications you take. Comparing plans against your actual prescription list can save hundreds of dollars a year.

Key benefits

  • Annual out-of-pocket cap on covered drugs
  • Plans compared against your medication list
  • Preferred pharmacy pricing and mail order options
  • Avoid the late enrollment penalty by enrolling on time

Who it’s a good fit for

  • People on Original Medicare with or without a Medigap plan
  • Anyone taking regular prescriptions
  • Those who want to avoid the Part D late enrollment penalty

Part D Drug Plans FAQs

What is the Part D late enrollment penalty?

If you go 63 or more days without creditable drug coverage after your Initial Enrollment Period ends, Medicare may add a permanent penalty to your Part D premium. Enrolling on time avoids it.

Can I change my Part D plan every year?

Yes. You can switch during the Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 to December 7) each year. Reviewing your plan annually is a good idea because formularies and prices change.
