1 Answers
A Medicare prescription medicine plan is an option, not a requirement. You do not have to enroll in Medicare Part D. However, even if you do not take many prescription medicines now, you may want to enroll in a plan so you'll have it if you need prescription medicine coverage in the future.

Original Medicare is made up of two parts: Part A, hospital insurance, and Part B, medical insurance. They can work together, but coverage does not overlap. This includes hospital stays, skilled nursing care (as long as custodial care isn't the only care you need), hospice, and home health-care services.
