Medicare Part D helps cover the cost of prescription drugs you fill at a pharmacy or through mail order. You can get it as a standalone plan with Original Medicare or as part of a Medicare Advantage plan that includes drug coverage.

What Medicare Part D Covers:
Medication Coverage Tailored to Your Needs
Medicare Part D plans cover a wide range of prescriptions through retail and mail-order pharmacies. Each plan includes a formulary (a list of covered drugs) and uses pricing tiers to determine your cost.
Most plans cover:
• Generic and brand name medications
• Prescriptions for chronic conditions
• Specialty drugs for chronic conditions
• Options for mail-order and preferred pharmacies
Coverage varies from plan to plan, so it’s important to review your prescriptions every year to avoid surprises.
