Find a pharmacy that’s convenient to you
Medicare prescription drug (Part D) plans have a network of pharmacies.
You're usually required to use a pharmacy in your plan's network to fill your prescriptions.

Get your prescriptions mailed to you
If you take medications regularly, our home delivery pharmacy may be a convenient and safe option for you. Your formulary (drug list) tells you if a medication is available for home delivery.
Save money by using generics
Sometimes you can save money by asking your doctor to prescribe the generic version of a brand-name medicine. Generic versions of brand-name drugs:
- Have the same active ingredients in the same amounts
- Typically cost less
- Are declared by the Food and Drug Administration to be just as safe and effective
When to request a refill
There are time guidelines for refilling your drugs.
For a 30-day prescription, order a refill when you have a 7-day supply left
For eye-drop medication, order a refill when you have a 9-day supply left
If you order too early, the pharmacy won’t give you the refill until the approved date.
You can get prescription drugs shipped directly to your home. Often, mail-order drugs arrive within 7 to 10 days. Call the number on your ID card if you don't get your mail-order drugs within this time. You can also sign-up for automated mail-order delivery.
Medicare only covers prescription drugs sold, filled and used in the U.S. and its territories.
