Original Medicare (Part A and B) typically does not cover most outpatient prescription drugs like Focalin XR. Coverage is generally available through Medicare Part D prescription drug plans or Medicare Advantage plans that include drug coverage. These plans may cover the generic version, dexmethylphenidate ER, more readily than the brand-name drug. Costs will depend on the specific plan's formulary tier, deductible, and copay. You can ask your pharmacist to check the price using your Medicare information alongside any available discount programs to find the lowest cost.
