What happens if a drug covered by a Medicare drug plan is found to be unsafe?
If a drug is found to be unsafe, it will no longer be covered. The Medicare plan will send a written notice of why the drug is no longer covered, a list of other drugs that are the same type that may be used in its place, and the expected cost. Individuals should talk to their doctor about what drug to take.
