Pharmacy & Prescription Drug Coverage Information
What is the difference between Part B and Part D?
Part B
Drug Coverage
Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) provides coverage for a limited selection of outpatient prescription drugs in specific situations.
Typically, this includes medications that you wouldn’t administer on your own, such as those given in a doctor’s office or a hospital outpatient facility.
Part D
Drug Coverage
Medicare drug coverage (Part D) includes a broad selection of prescription medications used by people with Medicare.
The list of covered drugs, known as a “formulary,” varies by plan, as each plan has its own. These formularies are usually organized into different “tiers,” with each tier having its own cost level.
