   You have several options.
   1) a stand alone Part D plan. You can select this when you first enroll in Medicare.
   2) If you are not on a Medicare Advantage plan and have Part A and Part B you can select one during the Annual Enrollment Period every fall October through December.
   3) If you select a Medicare Advantage Plan look for one that includes a Part D Plan. This makes it easy as you have one company for all your needs and one card to use for both your Health Insurance and Rx.

   You can sign up for Medicare Part D when you first are enrolled in Medicare Part A and B. This is at age 65, if you are receiving Social Security at age 65. Or it can be at a younger age, if you have been receiving SSDI for two years or have ESRD or ALS. 

   If you enrolled in Part B after Part A, in the open enrollment period, you can enroll in Part D from April 1 to June 30.
