Find Prescription Drug Plans from UnitedHealthcare
Prescription drug coverage that fits your health and budget needs.
Original Medicare Parts A and B don’t include prescription drug coverage. A Medicare Prescription Drug (Part D) plan can help cover the costs of your medication. AARP MedicareRx plans, offered through UnitedHealthcare, can help you save money on your prescription drugs and give you peace of mind—even if your health changes. Plans include commonly used generic and brand name prescription drugs, but each plan has slightly different coverage and drug lists.

Prescription Drug Coverage Options
Prescription drugs are not covered by Original Medicare. Once you’ve enrolled in Medicare, there are two main ways to get prescription drug coverage:
Medicare Prescription Drug (Part D) Plans
You can purchase a standalone Medicare Prescription Drug (Part D) plan to help pay for your prescription drug costs if you have Original Medicare and/or a Medicare Supplement insurance plan.
Medicare Advantage (Part C) Plans
Most Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans from UnitedHealthcare include prescription drug coverage. And all Special Needs Plans, a type of Medicare Advantage plan, will include prescription drug coverage.
Estimate Your Drug Costs
The Drug Cost Estimator tool lets you build a list of the medication you take, then estimate your drug costs for a specific plan based on that plan’s drug list (formulary).
The Plan Documents Search Tool can help make it easier to find documents for a specific plan, like a plan's drug list (formulary) or Evidence of Coverage.
If you’ve created a profile with us, you can view the formulary for any plan you’ve saved by logging in to Your Guest Profile, and clicking on the name of one of your saved plans. Scroll down to the “Plan Documents” section to find the plan’s drug list.
