The individuals most likely to be eligible to enroll in a Medicare Part D plan generally must already qualify for Medicare. Eligibility includes being at least 65 years old or having certain qualifying disabilities such as ALS or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Those enrolled in Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) or Medicare Advantage can choose to enroll in Part D for prescription drug coverage. Key eligibility points for Part D enrollment:
- Must have Medicare Part A and/or Part B (Original Medicare) or Medicare Advantage.
- Be 65 years old or older, or qualify early due to disability, ALS, or ESRD.
- Enrollment typically occurs during initial Medicare enrollment or during specific enrollment periods such as the Annual Open Enrollment Period.
Therefore, among given individuals, the one who is either 65 or older or has a qualifying disability and is enrolled in Medicare is most likely eligible for a Part D plan.
If you provide specific individuals or scenarios, a more tailored eligibility assessment can be given.
