Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (PDP) may help lower your prescription drug expenses and protect against higher costs in the future.
There are two ways to get coverage: A Medicare stand-alone prescription drug plan (PDP) that covers only prescription drugs. If you opt to get coverage of your Medicare health benefits through Original Medicare, you can enroll in a stand-alone Prescription Drug Plan to add drug benefits to your health coverage. The second way to get Medicare Prescription Drug coverage is by enrolling in a Medicare Advantage Plan that offers Medicare health benefits and also includes Medicare prescription coverage benefits.
