What does Medicare Part D cover?

• A. Hospital care
• B. Vision care
• C. Dental
• D. Prescription Drugs

Answer: (D)

Medicare Part D covers prescription medications. It’s the outpatient drug benefit provided through private plans approved by Medicare and is optional, added to Original Medicare or included in a Medicare Advantage plan that offers Part D. It does not cover hospital care or routine vision and dental care (those needs are generally not included in standard Medicare), though plan options can vary in which drugs are covered and how much you pay out of pocket. Enrollment and costs depend on the specific Part D plan you choose, including premiums, deductibles, and copays.
