If I am turning 65 and considering joining a Medicare Advantage plan, do I still need to pick a Prescription Drug plan? There are two main points to keep in mind. First, if you join a Medicare Advantage HMO or PPO, most plans include a Medicare Part D Prescription Drug plan as part of the coverage. The second point is that, in most instances, you must use the prescription plan that is part of the Medicare Advantage coverage; meaning you cannot join a Medicare Advantage health plan and then join another company’s Prescription Drug plan. It is important to verify that your prescription medications are covered by any Medicare Advantage plan you are considering that includes a Prescription Drug plan.
