Medicare Prescription Drug Plan

Medicare Part D, also known as the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) is the voluntary drug program for Medicare beneficiaries where part of the cost of outpatient prescription drugs are paid for through a benefit plan with insurance premiums, deductibles, and tiered co-payments for covered medications.

These prescription drug plans are sold by private companies who contract with Medicare annually.  Each plan will have their own formulary, or list of covered drugs. No plan covers every drug, and every company organizes their formulary differently.

Medications are organized into tiers such as: preferred generic, non-preferred generic, preferred brand, non-preferred brand, and specialty. Some plans may have additional tiers, but this is the typical tier structure. Usually the lower the tier, the lower the co-pay.

How To Get A Medicare Part D Plan

Medicare beneficiaries can sign up for a standalone prescription drug plan or they can sign up for drug coverage as part of a Medicare Advantage plan.  Those that are eligible for a Medicare Part D plan but who choose not to enroll in prescription drug benefits will have to pay a late-enrollment penalty to sign up for Part D coverage later.
