If you have Medicare Part A and Part B coverage and you do not have Part D prescription drug coverage, the Major Medical Medicare Supplement Plan is available to you. This Plan provides an additional level of protection for hospital and medical expenses after Medicare pays.
You are automatically covered for prescription drug benefits when you enroll in the Major Medical Medicare Supplement Plan. UnitedHealthcare underwrites the Major Medical Medicare Supplement Plan and Medco administers the prescription drug plan.
