Medicare’s Prescription Drug Program (Part D) helps seniors and people with disabilities cover the cost of prescription drugs. Medicare contracts with different prescription drug plans and each plan covers different prescription drugs so review the plans carefully to make sure that the plan meets your or your client’s needs.

- Compare Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans
Did you know that EVERYONE with Medicare qualifies to have prescription drug coverage? But with dozens of options, choosing a Medicare-subsidized prescription insurance plan can be confusing. The only way to pick a plan is to choose one that covers all of your drugs at the lowest annual cost. How? There are three options:
1) Call 1-800-Medicare and give them your list of drugs; they will send you a comparison of your three most affordable options.
2) OR, use Medicare’s online plan finder. Either way, you’ll need your list of drugs, as well as your Medicare number and effective date found on your red, white, and blue Medicare card.
3) OR, if you are unable to use the online Medicare Plan Finder or have problems with 1-800-Medicare, request plan-finding assistance from one of the Whatcom Medicare Part D Coalition partner agencies by mailing in this form (pdf).
