Every Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan must must meet a minimum standard level of coverage that Medicare sets. This is also true of Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plans.
Each Medicare Drug Plan has contracts with certain pharmacies which is called their pharmacy network. You must use one of the network pharmacies that your plan covers or your drug might not be covered. Most Prescription Drug Plans have a pretty good selection of pharmacies in their network, so it shouldn't be difficult to purchase your medicine.
Some plans have preferred pharmacies, and you could save money by using them. Your copayment or deductible could be less at the preferred pharmacies.
Also some Prescription Drug Plans have their own mail order drug program. These are sometimes cheaper than retail pharmacies, which might not be of concern unless you reach the coverage gap, (donut hole) in your plan. Many plans also offer 90 day supplies of drugs, which can also save you money as well as time.
