Medicare Part D

Medicare Part D, also called the Medicare prescription drug benefit, is a United States federal-government program to subsidize the costs of prescription drugs and prescription drug insurance premiums for Medicare beneficiaries. The program covers both name brands and generic prescription drugs at participating pharmacies in your area. Medicare prescription drug coverage provides protection for people who may have very high drug costs. 

Extra help is available for people with limited income and resources. If you qualify for extra help, Medicare will pay for almost all of your prescriptions drug costs. You can apply or get more information about the extra help by calling Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) or visiting their website here.
