Ms. Edwards is enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan that includes prescription drug plan (PDP) coverage. She is traveling and wishes to fill two of the prescriptions that she has lost. How would you advise her?

Respuesta :

Hi !

How would you advise her?

- She may fill prescriptions for covered drugs at non-network pharmacies, but likely at a higher cost than paid at an in-network pharmacy.

Answer:

Go to a  pharmacy that is not in the Medicare Advantage plan network.

Explanation:

For Ms. Edwards to have two of the prescription that she has lost, she should go to a pharmacy that is not associated with the prescription drug plan of Medicare Advantage plan and ask for a fill of her prescriptions. The price that she will pay is higher because these drugs are not covered by Medicare, but she will obtain the drugs for her travel.
