Medicare Part D covers prescription medications. People on Medicare choose from the available insurance plans in their state. The plans are run by insurance companies, not by the government. Each plan has its own
formulary that says which drugs they cover. You can search the plans and the drugs they cover
here. Type your zip code, enter Exjade (or deferasirox) as the drug you want to check, and see what you learn!
