It sounds like you might have a Medicare advantage plan that includes the drug plan.

With traditional Medicare and medigap, you provide providers with your Medicare and medigap info. They submit bills to Medicare, which then sends their information on billing so the Medigap plan can pay its part. For my husband and I it has worked seamlessly and both the UVM hospital and providers do not bill us until this process finishes.

Drugs are covered by the plan d drug plan. This works just like any pre Medicare drug plan.
