If you have Medicare drug coverage, and live in an area that's been declared an emergency or disaster, contact your plan for help:
Finding an in-network pharmacy nearby. An in-network pharmacy is a pharmacy that agrees to provide members of certain Medicare plans with services and supplies at a discounted price. In some Medicare plans, your prescriptions are only covered if you get them filled at in-network pharmacies.
Replacing lost or damaged drugs or replacing a drug you couldn’t take with you when you evacuated.
Getting drugs at an out-of-network pharmacy when you can't reasonably get to an in-network pharmacy.
