MAPD stands for Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plan, a health insurance abbreviation.
Medicare Advantage plan that bundles Part D prescription drug coverage with medical benefits, the most common form of Medicare Advantage. Enrollees use a single card for medical and pharmacy benefits.
Example: Compare MAPD plans by checking that all your medications are on the formulary.
Usage notes
People in most Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO plans must get drug coverage through the plan rather than a separate Part D plan, with private fee-for-service and some other plan types as exceptions. Plans publish formularies with drug tiers and coverage rules that can change each year.
