Part D Prescription Drug Plans
 

Medicare Part D, is the part of Medicare that covers most outpatient prescription drugs. Part D is offered through private companies either as a stand-alone plan, for those enrolled in Original Medicare, or Original Medicare with a Medigap plan. Or included with your Medicare Advantage Plan.

 

Unless you have "creditable drug coverage" and will have a Special Enrollment Period (see

 

"Medicare Enrollment Dates"  page for more info on SEPs,) you should enroll in Part D when you

 

first get Medicare, either with a stand alone Part D plan or with a Medicare Advantage Plan that

 

includes Part D.  If you delay enrollment, you may face gaps in coverage and have enrollment

 

penalties, called "Late Enrollment Penalty" (LEP).

​

  Each Part D plan has a list of covered drugs, called its formulary. If your drug is not on the

 

formulary, you may have to request an exception, or pay out of pocket.All Part D plans must include

 

at least two drugs from most categories.  A drug category is a group of drugs that treat the same

 

symptoms or have similar effects on the body.  Part D plans must also cover most vaccines, except

 

for vaccines covered by Part B.
