Original Medicare (Medicare Parts A and B) is really very limited in its coverage of prescription medication- Even though roughly 86% of U.S. seniors take prescription drugs on a regular basis.
For Medicare recipients looking for drug coverage, there are two options: a Medicare Advantage plan that includes Medicare Part D coverage or a stand-alone Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan that can be used alongside Original Medicare (or a Medicare Advantage plan that doesn’t include drug coverage).
