It is not possible to add prescription drug coverage to a Medicare Advantage private fee-for-service (PFFS) plan. Medicare Advantage PFFS plans do not offer the option to add a separate prescription drug plan, also known as a Part D plan. If Roseanna is enrolled in a Medicare Advantage PFFS plan and wants to add prescription drug coverage, she will need to switch to a different type of Medicare Advantage plan that includes Part D coverage. Some options for Medicare Advantage plans with Part D coverage include:

  • Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plans (MA-PDs): These plans combine Medicare Advantage and Part D coverage into one plan.
  • Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans (SNPs): These plans are designed for specific groups of people, such as those with chronic health conditions, and may include Part D coverage.
  • Medicare Advantage Cost Plans: These plans offer Medicare Advantage and Part D coverage, but do not require enrollees to use a specific network of providers.

It is important for Roseanna to carefully consider her options and choose a plan that meets her needs and is available in her service area. She may want to consult with a Medicare representative or her healthcare provider for more information on her options.
