Depending on the service area, the number of Medicare plans meeting either of these criteria can range from three to over 20 plans.
To begin using the LTC drug tool, you can simply select your state to get an overview of drug coverage for all qualifying Medicare Part D plans and institutional Special Needs Plans in your state. Drug usage management restrictions, such as quantity limits or step therapy requirements are shown with text and color-coding for each prescription drug and Medicare plan combination.
Users can then check the boxes next to their medications and click to filter out medications unimportant to them. The LTC charts are interactive with direct links to each Medicare Part D prescription drug plan’s complete online formulary, as well as plan features and plan contact information. By clicking on the drug names in the chart, users can also see a specific drug’s detailed coverage information for all Medicare plans in the chosen service area.
