Prescription Drugs
Generally, outpatient prescription drugs are not covered by Medicare but there is a way to avoid possible additional costs incurred in the long term. One thing you could do is buy a separate Part D prescription-drug policy that covers prescription drugs or a Medicare Advantage plan that covers medical as well as drug costs.
You can opt for Part D or Medicare Advantage coverage when you enroll in Medicare or when you no longer have any other drug coverage. In addition, you can adjust your policy each fall, during enrollment season.
To make sure you find the best policy for your needs and budget, you can compare costs and coverage for Part D or Medicare Advantage plan by using the Medicare Plan Finder.
