Personalized Medicare Part D RX and Medicare Supplements with MBA Insurance Services
Let's Talk About Your Future
Get the Coverage and Supplements You Need
Navigating Medicare can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re newly eligible or looking to review your current coverage, understanding how Medicare Part D RX and Medicare supplement plans work is critical to protecting your health and finances. At MBA Insurance Services, we specialize in helping individuals across Minnesota and Wisconsin find the right Medicare solutions, offering guidance every step of the way.
Why Medicare Part D RX and Medicare Supplements Matter
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) covers hospital stays and doctor visits but leaves significant gaps in coverage, including prescription medications, deductibles, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket costs. That’s where Medicare Part D RX and a Medicare supplement (also known as Medigap) come in.
Medicare Part D RX plans help cover the cost of your prescriptions, while Medicare supplement policies help pay for the out-of-pocket expenses that Original Medicare doesn’t cover. Together, these plans can significantly reduce your healthcare expenses and give you peace of mind.
What Is Medicare Part D RX?
Medicare Part D RX is prescription drug coverage offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. This coverage is optional but highly recommended for most Medicare enrollees, especially those who take regular medications.
What Does Part D RX Cover?
- Prescription medications (generic and brand name)
- Drugs in different “tiers” based on cost
- Medication management services
Each plan includes a formulary (list of covered drugs), and your exact costs depend on the plan you choose. At MBA Insurance Services, we help you review your current medications and select a plan that minimizes your out-of-pocket expenses.
Key Benefits of Medicare Part D RX
- Reduces the high cost of ongoing prescriptions
- Helps you avoid late enrollment penalties
- Offers multiple plan options to fit your budget and needs
What Is a Medicare Supplement?
Also known as Medigap, a Medicare supplement plan is used alongside Original Medicare to cover “gaps” in your healthcare coverage. These policies are sold by private insurers and regulated by the federal government.
What Does a Medicare Supplement Cover?
Depending on the plan type (Plans A, B, G, N, etc.), a Medicare supplement may cover:
- Medicare Part A and B deductibles
- Coinsurance and copayments
- Extended hospital stays
- Foreign travel emergency care
Unlike Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare supplement policies don’t include drug coverage, so most people pair them with a Medicare Part D RX plan.
Why Choose a Medicare Supplement?
- Predictable out-of-pocket costs
- No network restrictions—see any doctor that accepts Medicare
- Guaranteed renewable for life (as long as you pay your premiums)

Our Medicare services include:

- Annual policy reviews and re-evaluations

Common Questions We Help Answer
When should I enroll in Medicare Part D RX?
You’re eligible during your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP), which starts three months before you turn 65 and lasts seven months. Missing this window can lead to late penalties unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.
Can I change my Medicare Part D RX or Medicare supplement?
Yes. The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) runs from October 15 to December 7. During this time, you can switch your Part D RX plan. Medicare supplement plans have more specific rules, but we can guide you through your options.
Do I need both a Medicare supplement and Medicare Part D RX?
Yes, if you want both medical gap coverage and prescription drug coverage. Original Medicare doesn’t include prescriptions, and Medicare supplements don’t either.
