How to Choose a Medicare D Provider
Medicare Plan D covers prescription drug costs for people who are enrolled in either Medicare Parts A, B or both. Private companies contract with the government to cover participants under various plans that offer different deductibles, copays and monthly premiums. Pharmacies are the providers for Medicare Plan D participants. Choosing a pharmacy to fill your prescriptions under a Part D plan requires careful evaluation of each provider's pros and cons. You must make sure the pharmacy will suit your needs and accept payment from your Part D plan provider.
