Medicare Supplement Plans and Prescription Drug Coverage

Call for free, unbiased Medicare advice and assistance.

In general, Medicare Supplement Plans do not cover your prescription drugs. Rather, you’ll need to purchase a separate stand alone Medicare Part D prescription drug Plan to cover your medications. There are certain NON self administered medications like injections, infusions, chemotherapy, ect. – medications that are given to you in a provider setting that may be covered by Medicare Part B and these types of medications would be covered by your Medicare Supplement Plan (Since Medicare Supplement Plans cover Part B services). But the rest of your medications, the ones you pick up at the pharmacy and take at home, these are typically covered by a different Part of Medicare, Medicare Part D – and not your Medicare Supplement Plan.

I hope someone can answer me I'm currently working in United Healthcare as a patient care coordinator ..Can supplemental drugs be affected by the coverage gap?

Thank you, so besides A+B, I will need to purchase D for drug and G as a supplement, is my understanding correct? Thank you.
