Part D prescription drug plans are commonly used by Medicare beneficiaries to lower the cost of their medications. These plans are designed to provide coverage for the lowest possible cost.
One of the most challenging aspects of Medicare is understanding the various levels of coverage that a prescription drug plan provides.
One of the most common types of coverage that Medicare provides is its prescription drug plan, known as Medicare Part D.

If you have Medicare Part A but are not yet enrolled in Medicare Part B, you can still enroll in the program through Medicare Part D.
