Overview of Medicare Prescription Plans

Medicare Part D provides prescription drug coverage through private insurance companies approved by Medicare. In Medicare Part D Arizona plans, you may choose either a stand-alone Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) or get drug coverage bundled in a Medicare Advantage plan (MAPD).

Each plan has its own list of covered drugs, called a formulary, and its own pharmacy network. Plans may vary in premiums, deductibles, and copayments. Because Arizona residents have dozens of options, comparing plans each year is crucial.


What Does Medicare Part D Cover?

Medicare Part D Arizona plans generally cover both brand-name and generic prescription drugs. They are organized into tiers, where lower tiers typically have lower out-of-pocket costs. Covered drug types may include:

  • Medications for chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, high blood pressure)

  • Antibiotics

  • Inhalers

  • Antidepressants

However, not every medication is covered under every plan. Reviewing the plan’s formulary is essential before enrolling.


Key Questions About Medicare Part D Arizona

How much does Medicare Part D cost in Arizona?

Costs can vary by plan. You may pay a monthly premium, an annual deductible, copayments, and possibly a late enrollment penalty.

What is the coverage gap or “donut hole”?

This is a temporary limit on what the plan will pay for drugs. After you and your plan spend a certain amount, you pay more out of pocket—until catastrophic coverage kicks in.

When can I enroll in Medicare Part D?

You can enroll when first eligible for Medicare, during the Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 – December 7), or if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.
