No, Medicare Part D generally doesn’t cover Viagra (sildenafil). Part D covers prescription drugs, but it specifically excludes medications used primarily for erectile dysfunction. This exclusion applies to brand-name Viagra and generic sildenafil.
Alternative Coverage Options
However, you might find coverage through other avenues. Some Medicare Advantage plans (Medicare Part C) offer broader prescription drug coverage than standard Part D plans, and may include erectile dysfunction medications. Check your plan’s formulary to confirm if this is the case. Additionally, explore private insurance coverage if you have supplemental plans or other private insurance options. Finally, consider discussing cost-saving strategies with your doctor; there might be alternative treatments covered by Medicare.
Important Note
Always consult your doctor before starting or changing any medication. They can discuss appropriate treatment options and help you navigate potential cost implications.
