| Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage - Medicare Drug Plans & Pharmacies |
Medicare drug plans have contracts with a number of pharmacies that are part of the plan’s “network.” Your plan may not cover your prescription if you don’t go to a network pharmacy. Along with retail pharmacies, your plan’s network may include preferred pharmacies, a mail-order program, and a 60 or 90-day retail pharmacy program. Preferred Pharmacies If your plan has preferred pharmacies, it may be in your best interest to use them. Your prescription drug costs (such as a copayment or coinsurance) may be less at a preferred pharmacy because it has agreed with your plan to charge less. Mail-Order Programs Some plans may offer a mail-order program that allows you to get up to a 90-day supply of your covered prescription drugs sent directly to your home. This is usually a cost-effective and convenient way to fill your prescriptions. 60 or 90-Day Retail Pharmacy Programs Some retail pharmacies may also offer a 60 or 90-day supply of covered prescription drugs similar to mail order. |
