Part D with Other Coverage
Medicare Part D is voluntary — an optional program. Medicare Part D benefits can help you save money on 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 about how your other benefits interact with a Part D plan is essential.
