General explanation

Part D and drug lists

Part D is Medicare drug coverage. Each drug plan has its own list of covered drugs, called a formulary.

Before considering a plan, check its current formulary and pharmacy rules. A drug can have different cost sharing or restrictions between plans.
A premium, deductible, copayment, and coinsurance can each affect drug costs. This shop has no plan file and cannot calculate your drug costs.
