The Medicare Modernization Act mandated that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) establish geographic regions for the implementation of the Medicare Part D prescription drug plans (PDP) and the Medicare Advantage (MA or MA-PD) Plans.  Accordingly, CMS established 34 PDP regions made up of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.  In addition, CMS also established 5 separate PDP regions for the United States Territories.  Some of the 34 PDP regions are made of single states, while others are composed of more than one state.

Please click here for a complete list of all the 34 PDP regions:  http://www.q1medicare.com/PartD-Medicare-PartD-Overview-byRegion.php
