Part D can, and some Part C plans include drug coverage. Original Medicare Parts A and B do not cover outpatient prescriptions, so hormone therapy is not covered under those. Which specific products are covered depends on your plan formulary.

Atlanta pricing: which part pays
Coverage for hormone therapy in Atlanta depends less on Medicare in general than on which specific Part D plan you happen to hold. Part D is the prescription drug benefit and it is where hormone therapy sits. Each Part D plan publishes its own formulary listing which medicines it covers and at which tier, and those lists differ substantially between plans.
Some Medicare Advantage plans, known as Part C, bundle drug coverage in. If yours does, the formulary works the same way and is published the same way.
Original Medicare Parts A and B do not cover outpatient prescriptions, so hormone therapy is not covered there. That catches people out, particularly those who have not enrolled in Part D. There is more in hormone therapy cost, what it costs and insurance and coverage for the rest of it. Anyone relying on Parts A and B alone will find nothing toward the prescription cost in Atlanta, a gap that usually surfaces at the pharmacy counter.
