Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage
Did you know that Original Medicare doesn’t cover the cost of prescription medications? Most people choose to supplement their healthcare coverage through a Medicare Advantage Plan or a Part D prescription coverage plan.
How to Get Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage
There are two ways you can get the drug coverage you need:
Medicare Drug Plans
Part D plans add prescription drug coverage to your Original Medicare or private Medicare services. To qualify to sign up for a separate Part D plan, you must have Medicare Part A and/ or Medicare Part B.
Medicare Advantage Plans
Signing up for a Part C Medicare plan often gives you access to prescription drug coverage. This plan includes Part A, Part B, and Part C in one Advantage plan.
Keep in mind that skipping drug coverage when you are first eligible means that you might pay a late enrollment penalty if you join a Part D plan later.

Your Options for Prescription Coverage
Talk to a Licensed insurance agent to learn how prescription drug coverage works with your other Medicare plans. For example, certain Medicare Advantage Plans could be disenrolled if you join a separate drug plan. It’s important to consider all coverage options before changing your current coverage or signing up for a new plan.
