Upcoming Changes to Part D in 2027

There are important changes coming to Medicare Part D beginning in January 2027. These changes may affect anyone with:

  • A standalone Part D prescription drug plan
  • A Medicare Supplement paired with a Part D plan
  • A Medicare Advantage plan that includes drug coverage
“This week on July the 28th, Dr. Oz, who is the director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which governs Medicare, came out and said that effective January 2027, the government will no longer pay subsidies to your Medicare prescription drug plan.”
