1. Prescription drug plan (Medicare Part D)
Medical · Health Insurance Abbreviations
Stand-alone Medicare Part D plan sold by private insurers to add outpatient prescription drug coverage to Original Medicare. Enrollees pay a monthly premium, and costs vary by formulary, pharmacy network and drug tier.
Example: Original Medicare plus a Medigap plan and a PDP for her inhalers.
Part D began on January 1, 2006, under the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003. The Inflation Reduction Act capped annual out-of-pocket drug costs at US$2,000 starting in 2025, indexed afterward, eliminating the old coverage gap or "donut hole". Delaying enrollment without other creditable drug coverage triggers a lifelong late enrollment penalty.
2. Product detail page
Business & Finance · E-commerce & Retail Abbreviations
Web page for a single product in an online store, showing images, title, price, variants, description, specifications, reviews, delivery information and the add-to-cart button.
Example: Adding size guidance to the PDP cut returns for fit by 15%.
PDP quality strongly affects conversion and returns. In SEO, PDPs target specific product searches, while category pages target broader ones. In medicine, PDP has unrelated meanings.
