Triple-S Prescription Drug Program (Triple-S Óptimo PSHB)
Triple-S Prescription Drug Program (Triple-S Óptimo PSHB) is a Medicare Part D plan made for postal service retirees eligible for Part A, B, or both.
A Medicare prescription drug benefit for eligible members who qualify for Medicare Part A and/or Medicare Part B utilizing Medicare as their Primary Health Care coverage. While Triple-S prescription drug benefits are considered creditable coverage (meaning they meet Medicare’s minimum requirements) we are offering Medicare Prescription Drug Program (MPDP) as a Part D plan to help members with Part A and/or Part B save on their prescriptions. MPDP is just one way we are making your Triple-S coverage and Medicare work together for you.
