The Plan

Medicare Part D is a stand-alone prescription drug plan available to anyone with Medicare Part A and/or Part B. It is available from private insurance companies that are approved by Medicare. These plans cover generic and brand-name medications that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Coverage and Costs

Medicare Part D plans have different levels of coverage and costs. Some plans charge a premium, which is a monthly fee for the coverage. Other plans may have a deductible, which is the amount you have to pay before the plan starts to cover your medications.
