Medicare Medicare prescription drugs

We make filling Part D prescriptions easier and more affordable.

Get started with your pharmacy coverage

If this is your first time having a Medicare Advantage plan, let us help you get the most from your pharmacy benefits. 

Get Started
Drug coverage

Prescription drug plans cover only those drugs eligible for coverage under Medicare Part D.

These plans come with a formulary, or a list of covered prescription drugs, which are grouped into tiers. Some drugs may be listed in more than one tier if they are available as both generic and brand-name or if there are multiple strengths for the drug.

Medicare Part D plans do not cover certain drugs that are excluded by law, such as over-the-counter medications and prescription vitamins.

Access formulary guides
Help with paying your costs

Some members may qualify for the Part D Extra Help Program and Low-Income Subsidy. If you get Extra Help from Medicare to help pay for your Medicare prescription drug plan costs, your monthly plan premium will be lower than what it would be if you did not get Extra Help from Medicare. The amount of Extra Help you get will determine your total monthly plan premium as a member of our plan.

The Medicare Prescription Payment Plan is a payment option that works with your current drug coverage to help you manage your out-of-pocket drug costs by spreading your payments across the calendar year. Learn more about the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan.
