Starting in January 2025 there is a new option for Medicare Part D participants called the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan (M3P). If you're enrolled in Medicare Part D, you have the option of spreading out your out-of-pocket Part D drug costs through monthly payments over the duration of the plan year (January-December) instead of paying your copay/coinsurance at the pharmacy.
