Understanding Part D


Drug Coverage For Medicare

Part D plans in Michigan are offered by private insurers approved by Medicare. Choose a stand-alone Part D plan if you have Original Medicare or a Medigap policy, or get drug coverage bundled with a Medicare Advantage plan. Enrolling on time helps you avoid a late penalty.

Choosing The Right Drug Plan

Formulary, Pharmacy Network, And Total Cost


McDonnell Insurance enters your prescriptions and preferred pharmacy to compare every plan in your county, from Traverse City to Metro Detroit. We look at premiums, deductibles, copays, and whether your pharmacy is preferred so you pay less at the counter.

How Part D Works

Deductible, Coverage Stages, And Caps

Most plans have a deductible on higher-tier drugs, then standard copays during initial coverage. If total drug costs reach the coverage gap, you typically pay a percentage of costs until catastrophic protection starts. We explain these stages in plain language and project your year-round costs.

Annual Review And Support

Stay Matched To The Best Plan Each Year

Plans change every January. During the fall Annual Election Period, we run a fresh comparison and switch you if a better fit emerges. If a prior authorization or exception is needed midyear, call us and we will help resolve it.
