Medicare Part D

Prescription drug coverage under Medicare.

What they don't tell you

You buy it from a private insurer. The plans change every year. The drugs you take this year may not be covered next year. The 'donut hole' has changed shape repeatedly. Use medicare.gov's Plan Finder during open enrollment — feed it your prescription list — every single year.
