Prescription Drug Plans help cover the cost of medications. Coverage may be included in a Medicare Advantage plan, or it may be purchased as a standalone Part D plan to pair with Original Medicare and, in many cases, a Medicare Supplement plan.

Your medications, dosages, preferred pharmacies, and plan formulary all affect your estimated drug costs. Reviewing your prescriptions each year can help identify plan changes that may impact your budget.

• Compare medications against plan formularies
• Review preferred pharmacy options
• Check deductibles, copays, and coverage stages
• Avoid surprises when plan formularies change
