Part D

What Is Medicare Part D?

Medicare Part D provides prescription drug coverage for Medicare enrollees. Part D plans are offered by private insurers, not the federal government.

If you want Medicare prescription drug coverage, you typically have two options:

  • Enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan that includes prescription drug coverage
  • Enroll in a Medicare Part D standalone prescription drug plan (PDP)

Medicare Part D provides prescription drug coverage for Medicare enrollees. Part D plans are offered by private insurers, not the federal government.

Part D is optional coverage that works with many other forms of insurance, including Original Medicare, Medicaid, employer health plans and in some cases, Medicare Advantage plans.

Each Part D prescription drug plan may have varying benefits, costs and rules.

To compare plans where you live, you can call to speak with a licensed insurance agent. You can also compare plans online for free.
