if you're buying a new insurance policy it must include drug coverage. that's the law. the only possible reason for prescription drug coverage not being included in the policy you're considering is if you're talking about medicare rather than private health insurance. if that's the case and you're trying to buy a medicare advantage plan take a look at medicare plan finder at www. medicare. gov to search for policies in your area. you should be able to find another plan that includes all the services you need (outpatient and inpatient care as well as prescription drugs) or you can purchase a medicare part d policy which covers the cost of just prescription medications.
