Medicare prescription drug coverage is a voluntary benefit under the
Medicare program. The Medicare prescription drug coverage program is sometimes
called "Part D." Part D benefits are provided by private insurance
companies.
There are many Part D plans
to choose from in Maine.
You can enroll in a new Part D plan from October 15 to December 7 every
year for enrollment in a Plan the following year. (Special enrollment periods also
exist. For more information about these, contact your local Area Agency on Aging:
1-887-353-3771.)
