Counts are over every Medicare Advantage drug plan and stand-alone Part D plan in the CMS monthly formulary files, excluding employer plans. A plan counts as covering a drug when any strength or form of it is on the plan’s formulary; the tier, prior authorization, step therapy and quantity limit shown are the most favorable version on that formulary. Copays are for a 30-day supply at a preferred retail pharmacy after the deductible. This is a reference for licensed agents, not a plan recommendation; verify with the plan’s formulary before advising a client. Source: CMS Part D formulary files (release 10/08/2026).
