Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans

Why Your Prescription Drug Plan Matters

Medicare Part D plans help cover the cost of prescription medications, and if you have Original Medicare without a Part D plan or creditable drug coverage, you could face a lifelong late-enrollment penalty added to your premium. Each Part D plan has its own list of covered drugs, called a formulary, along with its own pharmacy network and cost tiers, which means two plans that look similar on the surface can result in very different out-of-pocket costs depending on the specific medications you take.

Why Reviewing Your Plan Every Year Matters

Formularies, premiums, and pharmacy networks can change annually, so a Part D plan that was the cheapest option for your medications last year may not be this year. This is especially true if you've been prescribed a new medication, if your pharmacy has changed its network status, or if a drug you take moves to a higher cost tier. Reviewing your plan each Annual Enrollment Period is one of the simplest ways Florida Medicare beneficiaries can avoid overpaying.
