Part D Drug Plans
Drug coverage is where plans quietly win or lose you money — we compare every formulary against your actual prescriptions.
Medicare Part D plans each maintain their own formulary — their covered-drug list, pricing tiers, and pharmacy network. Two plans with identical premiums can cost you hundreds of dollars more per year on the same prescriptions. The only honest way to choose is to load your medication list and compare line by line.
I run your exact prescriptions — dosages and all — through every Part D and Advantage-with-drugs plan available in your zip code, then check pharmacy networks too. It takes me twenty minutes and can save you more than any coupon ever will. And yes, I re-check it every fall during Open Enrollment, because formularies change annually.
What It Covers
The protection, piece by piece.
Pharmacy network pricing
The same drug can differ by $40 between pharmacies on one plan — we check your usual pharmacy and a backup.
Coverage stages
Initial coverage, the coverage gap (“donut hole”), and catastrophic coverage — I project your full-year cost, not just January’s.
Late-enrollment penalty avoidance
Going 63+ days without creditable drug coverage triggers a permanent penalty. We make sure you never trip it.
My Process
How we get you covered.
Every recommendation runs through the same four steps — whether you’re choosing part d drug plans or any other coverage I offer.
-
Send me your medication list
Drug names, dosages, and quantities — plus your preferred pharmacy. A photo of the bottles works fine.
-
Full-market price comparison
Every plan in your zip code priced against your list, including pharmacy-specific pricing and the donut hole.
-
Pick the winner together
I walk you through the top two or three so you understand exactly why one saves money.
-
Verify every fall
Formularies change October 1st. I re-run your list annually and tell you when to stay or switch.
Common Questions
About Part D Drug Plans.
Still curious? Call (415) 891-9797 — I answer these calls myself.
I take a specialty drug — can you still help?
Usually yes. Some specialty drugs live outside standard Part D under manufacturer or assistance programs — I’ll map that path too, and tell you honestly if a plan can’t cover it.
What if my drug isn’t covered at all?
We have options: request an exception through your plan, look at an alternative therapy with your doctor, or check manufacturer assistance programs. I’ve walked clients through all three.
Does my pharmacy matter?
Enormously. Preferred pharmacy networks can cut costs on the same plan, and some superstores or mail-order options are cheaper again. We’ll price your regular pharmacy first.
