Prescription Drug Plans

All Medicare plans will include a $2,000 cap on what you pay out-of-pocket for covered RX. Review your prescriptions and compare plans to make sure your drugs are covered in 2025.

If you have a supplement plan or Original Medicare, you want to make sure your drugs are covered in 2025.

Medicare drug coverage helps pay for prescription drugs you need. Even if you don’t take prescription drugs now, consider getting Medicare drug coverage. If you decide not to get it when you’re first eligible, and you don’t have other creditable prescription drug coverage (like drug coverage from an employer or union) or get Extra Help, you’ll likely pay a late enrollment penalty if you join a plan later. Generally, you’ll pay this penalty for as long as you have Medicare drug coverage. To get Medicare drug coverage, you must join a Medicare-approved plan that offers drug coverage. Each plan can vary in cost and specific drugs covered.

1. Medicare drug plans. These plans add drug coverage to Original Medicare, some Medicare Cost Plans, some Private Fee‑for‑Service plans, and Medical Savings Account plans. You must have Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and/or Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) to join a separate Medicare drug plan.


2. Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) or other Medicare. You get all of your Part A, Part B, and drug coverage in one plan.

Joining a Medicare drug plan may affect your Medicare Advantage Plan  

Take your time before you enroll in a separate Prescription Drug Plan. These are the rules.


If you join a Medicare Advantage Plan, you’ll usually get drug coverage through that plan. 


In certain types of plans that can’t offer drug coverage (like Medical Savings Account plans) or choose not to offer drug coverage (like certain Private Fee-for-Service plans), you can join a separate Medicare drug plan. 


If you’re in a Health Maintenance Organization, HMO Point-of-Service plan, or Preferred Provider Organization, and you join a separate drug plan, you’ll be disenrolled from your Medicare Advantage Plan and returned to Original Medicare. You will not be able to return until the following open enrollment period, which is October 15-December 7.


You can only join a separate Medicare drug plan if you are enrolled in:

1. Private Fee-for-service plan

2. Medical Savings Account Plan

3. Cost Plan

4. Certain employer-sponsored Medicare health plan.
