The Medicare Prescription Drug Program

Although the Medicare Prescription Drug Program ("Medicare Part D") is prescription insurance, the Ohio's Best Rx discount card may be used with many Part D plans for drugs that are still purchased "out-of-pocket," also known as drugs purchased in the "doughnut hole" or "coverage gap." If you have prescription drug insurance through a Medicare Part D plan, you should check with your Part D plan administrator and/or your pharmacist to determine if the Ohio's Best Rx card discount can be applied to your out-of-pocket drug purchases during your plan's coverage gap.

It is very important that persons who are eligible for Medicare thoroughly investigate their options. If you need help to analyze your coverage needs and determine a plan that best suits you, both Medicare and the Ohio Department of Insurance provide individual assistance (see contact information below).

If, after evaluating all of your options under the Medicare prescription drug program, you determine that you will not enroll in one of the plans, the Ohio’s Best Rx card might still be of value to you.
