Before you enroll

Prescription coverage and who this plan may fit

This plan does not include Part D drug coverage

Before enrolling, confirm how your prescriptions will be covered. You can add a separate Part D plan to this plan. A gap in creditable drug coverage may lead to a Part D late enrollment penalty later.

Part D late enrollment penalty

If you go 63 days or more in a row after your Part D initial enrollment period without Part D or other creditable prescription drug coverage, you may owe a penalty if you join Part D later. The penalty is 1% of the national base beneficiary premium ($38.99 in 2026) for each full uncovered month. It is added to your monthly Part D premium for as long as you have Part D, and the base premium can change each year.

Who this type of plan may fit

MA-Only plans are generally considered by people who already have creditable prescription drug coverage, such as coverage from the VA, TRICARE, or a current or former employer or union. Your coverage provider (not this page) must tell you whether your current drug coverage is creditable.

Before you enroll

  • Find your current plan's annual Notice of Creditable Coverage or ask its benefits administrator.
  • Do not drop existing drug coverage until you understand how the change affects both coverages.
