Medicare Part D
Medicare Part D is Prescription Drug Coverage. Everyone with Medicare, regardless of income, health status or prescription drug usage has access to prescription drug coverage.
What is Part D?
Medicare Part D is insurance that helps pay for prescription drugs that are not covered by Medicare Part A or B. It is optional insurance that is purchased through private insurance companies. There are many plan choices with various levels of coverage and premiums depending on your needs.
Regardless if you are taking medications or not, you may want to sign up when first eligible to avoid paying a penalty if you sign up later.
To learn more about the standard deductible, coverage limits, co-payments and other elements of Part D plans, view our Medicare Part D standard benefit design.

Part D reviews
During Annual Open Enrollment (October 15 - December 7), you have the opportunity to review your Medicare Part D plan and either keep your current plan or select a different plan that better suits your needs. If you are satisfied with your current costs and coverage, you do nothing. Your Part D coverage will continue with your same insurer.
To complete a review of your Medicare Part D plan you have two options:
Do-it-Yourself: You can use the resources below to help you complete a review of the Medicare Part D plans that are available and choose one that best suits your needs. We hosted a Medicare Part D webinar on October 8, 2024. Find the recording below.
