Medicare Part D provides what type of coverage?

• A. Hospital inpatient coverage.
• B. Outpatient procedural coverage.
• C. Prescription drugs coverage.
• D. Medical equipment coverage.

Answer: (C)

Prescription drug coverage is what Medicare Part D provides. It’s an optional benefit offered through private plans approved by Medicare, either as standalone Prescription Drug Plans or as part of Medicare Advantage plans with drug coverage. Part D specifically helps pay for medications you obtain at the pharmacy when prescribed by your clinician. It does not cover hospital inpatient care (Part A), general outpatient medical services (Part B), or durable medical equipment (which is usually covered under Part B). Plans vary in premiums, deductibles, and copays, and drug coverage depends on the plan and the specific medications.
