   That is a great question! Unfortunately, the answer, not so much. I’m afraid that it is not. If you have questions on the services or medications covered by your Medicare plans, go to the Medicare website http://www.medicare.gov  and there is a space that you can type in your service or medication, and find out if it’s covered. It’s a really nifty, fast way to find out. Thanks for asking!

   Humira is a prescription medication and would not be covered by Original Medicare (Part A & Part B) nor your Medicare supplement plan F. It would be covered by a stand-alone Part D prescription drug plan if it is listed in the plan’s formulary (list of drugs covered by the plan).

   If your current plan doesn’t cover the prescription, you can change to a different Part D plan (one that covers the drug) during the annual enrollment period (Oct 15-Dec 7 of each year).

   Please feel free to contact me with any other questions. Thanks very much.
