Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Benefit
Medicare part D Prescription drug Benefit Updated December 18, 2020 Congressional Research Service R40611 Congressional Research Service SUMMARY Medicare part D Prescription drug Benefit The Medicare Prescription drug , Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA; 108-173) established a voluntary, outpatient Prescription drug Benefit under Medicare part D, effective January 1, 2006. Medicare part D provides coverage through private Prescription drug plans (PDPs) that offer only drug coverage, or through Medicare Advantage (MA) Prescription drug (MA-PD) plans that offer coverage as part of broader, managed care plans. Private drug plans participating in part D bear some financial risk, although federal subsidies cover most program costs in an effort to encourage participation and keep benefits affordable.
