What option is available to a member wanting additional medical coverage while being in a PDP?

The option to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan with prescription drug coverage is appropriate for a member seeking additional medical coverage while participating in a Prescription Drug Plan (PDP). This choice is advantageous as Medicare Advantage plans often provide broad medical coverage that can include hospital stays, doctor visits, and possibly additional benefits such as vision and dental services, in addition to the drug coverage already included in the plan.

By choosing a Medicare Advantage plan that includes prescription drug coverage, the member can consolidate their health care services into one plan, simplifying their membership while enhancing coverage. This can lead to enhanced coordination of care as all services are managed under one umbrella, making it easier for members to access both medical and pharmacy benefits.

The other options either do not provide the desired additional medical coverage, or involve changes that may not align with the goal of obtaining more comprehensive coverage while still maintaining drug benefits. For instance, enrolling in a Medicare Supplement Plan would typically not be compatible with a PDP, as it is designed to supplement original Medicare rather than a PDP or Advantage plan.
