If you qualify for Extra Help for your Medicare prescription drug plan costs, the amount of your premium and cost at the pharmacy is less. Once you are enrolled in a First UA Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage (PDP), Medicare tells us how much assistance you receive. We then send you information on the amount of premium you will pay.

Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Policies with Part D

If you have a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy that includes prescription drug coverage, you must contact your Medigap provider to tell them you joined a Medicare prescription drug plan. If you keep your Medigap policy, your Medigap provider removes the prescription drug coverage portion of your policy and adjusts your premium. Under certain circumstances, you can buy a different Medigap policy without prescription drug coverage sold by your Medigap provider. Your Medigap provider cannot charge you more based on any past or present health conditions. Call your Medigap provider for details.
