Is prescription drug coverage a benefit of any of the Blue Medicare Supplement Plans?
Prescription drug coverage is not included as a benefit of any Blue Medicare Supplement plan. On January 1, 2006, Medicare’s prescription drug coverage became effective. Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage was designed by the U.S. Congress to help you pay for the prescription drugs you need. If you would like this prescription drug coverage, you must purchase it separately from your Medigap (Blue Medicare Supplement) health plan. Everyone with Medicare is eligible for this coverage. Beneficiaries are not automatically enrolled. You may choose to purchase this private insurance on an annual basis.
