If you are 65 years or older — or under 65 with certain disabilities — you may qualify for a Medicare Part D plan. Anyone covered by Medicare is eligible for prescription drug coverage.
You don’t need to sign up for Medicare Part D if your current prescription drug plan is better than or equal to Medicare's prescription drug plan.
Private insurance companies approved by Medicare provide consumers with Medicare Part D plans. You may even qualify for cost assistance with your Medicare Part D coverage through a low-income subsidy based on income and asset requirements. This Extra Help may be worth up to $4,000 a year. Find out if you qualify here in 15 minutes or less.
Tips on Shopping for Medicare Part D Plans
There are different types of Medicare Part D plan options. These plan options change from year to year. Here are six tips you should consider when shopping for Medicare prescription drug plans:
- Do you know what prescriptions you take? Ask your pharmacist for a list.
- Do you already have prescription drug coverage through another insurance plan?
- Do you want to be able to get your prescriptions by mail?
- Do you want to stay with the pharmacy you are using now?
- Review the premium and annual deductible of any Medicare Part D plans.
- Review plan benefits before you enroll.
Starting your search for a Medicare Part D plan may not seem easy, but educating yourself before you begin can help.
