Medicare: Landscape of Local Plans State-by-State Breakdown
The Landscape of Local Plans lists all plans available in your area,
providing important information on:
- Cost (premiums, deductibles and payments)
- Coverage (important issues around what and how drugs are covered)
- Convenience (pharmacy and mail-order options)
The Landscape provides information about the two different ways you can get
your Medicare drug coverage:
- Stand-alone Prescription Drug Plans that offer drug coverage
only. You can add drug coverage to the Original Medicare plan and some
Medicare Advantage and other Medicare Health Plans through a “stand alone”
prescription drug plan (PDP). - Medicare Advantage or other Health Plans with Prescription Drug
Coverage. You can get drug coverage and the rest of your Medicare
coverage through a Medicare Advantage (MA) or other health plan, like an HMO or
PPO, which typically provides more benefits at a significantly lower cost
through a network of doctors and hospitals. [Please note, a dash in the
“Beneficiary Drug Premium” column means that plan does not offer prescription
drug coverage.].
