Drug Coverage Is Included With Most Peoples Health Plans

Original Medicare does not include Part D prescription drug coverage. To get it, you need to enroll in a prescription drug plan. If you don’t get drug coverage when first eligible, you may face a penalty if you want to sign up later.

One option for getting Part D coverage is a “stand-alone” prescription drug plan. This type of plan only covers prescription drugs – it does not cover any medical care. 

Another option is a Medicare Advantage plan that includes prescription drug coverage. With most Peoples Health plans, you don’t have to pay for a separate drug plan because Part D drug coverage is included.

Please note: If you're in a Medicare Advantage plan with prescription drug coverage and you sign up for a separate Part D plan, you will be disenrolled from your Medicare Advantage plan.

You cannot be enrolled in two plans at once that both offer Part D prescription drug coverage.
