Network Pharmacies

Pharmacies that have agreed 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 network pharmacies.

Non-Preferred Pharmacy

A pharmacy that's part of a Medicare drug plan's network but isn't a Preferred Pharmacy. You may pay higher out-of-pocket costs if you get your prescription drugs from a Non-Preferred Pharmacy instead of a Preferred Pharmacy.
