No, Medigap insurance plans do not cover prescription drugs. If you have a Medigap plan or are interested in getting in, you would need to add a stand-alone Part D prescription drug plan.
I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for help with your coverage and if you have any other questions. Thanks very much.
As of June 1, 2010 Medigap policies no longer can offer coverage for outpatient prescription drugs.
Federal requlation requires that all Medicare beneficiaries have creditable prescription drug coverage.
There are four ways to accomplish this:
Drug coverage via an employer plan or retirement medical plan through a prior employer.
Drug coverage via a Union retiree health plan.
Veteran's Administration (VA) drug coverage, available to certain veterans.
A Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan.
