Part D with Other Plans
Medicare Part D is voluntary — an optional program. Its benefits can save you money on your prescription drugs. When deciding if a Part D plan is right for you, it’s important to understand how it may affect other benefits you also receive, such as …
- Medicare Part A and Part B / Medicaid
- State pharmaceutical assistance program (SPAP)
- Medigap (Medicare Supplement) policy
- Employer or retiree group coverage
- Medicare-approved drug discount card program
- Non-Medicare-approved drug discount card program
Before enrolling in a Medicare Part D plan, research how it may affect your other coverage plans. Being well-informed of how your other benefits interact with a Part D plan is essential.
