What happens to my HOP prescription drug benefits if I go into an assisted living center and/or nursing home?
Medicare Part D coverage extends to multiple patient settings. If someone is in a nursing home under skilled nursing care, Medicare Part A will be responsible for the costs of the drugs. Once the level of care in the nursing care facility is no longer at a skilled level, the Medicare Part D coverage takes over. PSERS has an extensive pharmacy network that includes nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
