Part D with Other Plans
Medicare Part D is voluntary - an optional program. Its benefits can save you money on your prescription drugs. When deciding if a Part D plan is right for you, it's important to understand how it may affect other benefits you receive, such as:
- Medicare Part A and Part B/Medicaid
- State Pharmaceutical Assistance Program (SPAP)
- Medigap (Medicare Supplement) policy
- Other employer or retiree group coverage
- Medicare-approved drug discount card program
- Non-Medicare-approved drug discount card program
This Medicare Part D plan is specifically designed for employer/union groups. If you are a member or will be a member of this plan, you may want to research how it may affect your other coverage plans, if any. It is essential to be well-informed about how your other benefits interact with a Part D plan.
