Do any Medicare Part D plans cover extended or bonus drugs beyond the normal Medicare Part D formulary?

Understanding your Formulary · updated May 25, 2025

Yes.  Some Medicare Part D prescription drug plans cover, not only brand-name and generic prescription drugs, but also so-called "Bonus Drugs" not usually covered by the Medicare Part D program, such as:
  • B Complex w/Vitamin C
  • Cyanocobalamin
  • Folic Acid
  • Levitra
  • Mephyton
  • Multiple Vitamin Injection
  • Viagra (or other ED medications)
  • Over-the-Counter (OTC) medications
What you pay for your Supplemental Drugs...

Please note that when you purchase one of your Medicare Part D plan's Supplemental (non-Part D) drugs, payment for these "Bonus" or "Supplemental" Drugs – made by you or your Medicare drug plan – may be treated differently as compared to other Medicare Part D drug payments.

For example, "Bonus Drug" purchases may not count toward your annual Total out-of-pocket (TrOOP) threshold or (RxMOOP) - which is set at $2,000 in 2025 ($2,100 in 2026).  After reaching RxMOOP, Medicare Part D beneficiaries will enter Catastrophic Coverage and have a $0 copay (no additional costs) for all formulary Medicare Part D drugs through the remainder of the year.

Please note:  The medications below were formerly Bonus Drugs but are now included on many Medicare Part D plan formularies.

  • Clonazepam
  • Estazolam
  • Lorazepam
  • Oxazepam
  • Phenobarbital

  • Wegovy (for specific medical indications aside from weight loss). This drug is currently not covered by any stand-alone Part D plans (PDPs) and only a few Medicare Advantage plans (MAPDs)
Please also note that we do not include non-Part D "Bonus Drugs" or "Supplemental Drugs" in our Formulary Browser or the drug finder Drug Finder tools since they do not affect your Medicare Part D plan's total out-of-pocket spending (TrOOP) limit.
