Features of the Best Part D Plans of 2025

Some of the best Medicare Part D plans of 2025 may share a few common features. When comparing plans, check to see if any of the following are included.

  • Mail-order drug delivery. It’s not uncommon for Medicare insurers to offer mail-order delivery of prescription drugs to allow Part D plan members to have their medications delivered right to their door.

  • Medication Therapy Management (MTM). This program can help beneficiaries who take multiple prescription drugs better manage their medications.

  • Large pharmacy networks. The best Part D plans can have networks of participating pharmacies that number in the tens of thousands and include major chains like Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and more.

  • Low or $0 copays or deductibles. Some nationally available Part D plans offer median copays between $0 and $5 for preferred generic and generic drugs, which are often Tier 1 and Tier 2 drugs on the plan formulary. 

Best States for Medicare Part D Plans

Medicare Part D plan selection varies by county and state, so not all beneficiaries have access to the same options. 

Choosing a Medicare Part D Plan

At the end of the day, the best Medicare Part D plan boils down to the best Medicare Part D plan for you. And that means being able to say yes to each of the following 3 questions:

  1. Is the plan available where you live? Not all plans are available in every location. Not even all insurance carriers sell plans in every state. And you can only enroll in plans that are offered in the service area in which you live.

  2. Does the plan cover the drugs you need? A plan that doesn’t cover the medications you take serves little purpose. Check the plan’s formulary, which is the list of drugs covered by the plan, before enrolling.

  3. Is the plan accepted by your local pharmacies? Even a high-quality plan is of little use if you can’t use it at your local pharmacies. Always check the plan’s network of participating pharmacies to see where you can use the coverage.
