Part D: Prescription Drug Plans

Getting the Medications You Need

All AvMed Medicare Advantage plans come with drug coverage built-in, so you won't need a separate Part D plan. Coverage level can vary by plan – make sure your prescriptions are covered by checking the details of each plan.

Basics of Medicare Part D

Medicare Part D is prescription drug coverage available to anyone with Medicare.

There are two types of Medicare drug plans:

  1. Medicare Prescription Drug Plans. These work to add drug coverage to Original Medicare.
  2. Medicare Advantage Plans. This is what you have as an AvMed Medicare Member. It combines your drug coverage with the other parts of Medicare to give you an all-in-one package. Medicare Advantage (MA) plans are called "Part C". Part C encompasses Parts A and B in one plan. Some plans may offer Part D coverage within Part C. These plans are often referred to as MA-PD plans.

In simple terms, your Part D coverage as an AvMed Medicare Member is included in your Medicare Advantage Plan.

Prescription Coverage and Costs

The types of drugs you're covered for and at what cost varies by plan. There are no deductibles for AvMed Medicare prescription coverage.
