Part D Drug Plans

It's that time of year for us seniors - from October 15 to December 7 the window is open to preview/review Part D drug plans. You really should take time annually to review your plan: online at Medicare.gov, by talking with your pharmacist, or talking with your Extension Office or other local agencies who offer the service.    

All entities reviewing drug plans use the same website to evaluate the available plans in your state: https://www.medicare.gov/  But you can do it yourself!

Whether or not your medications have changed, you still should evaluate the plans and select the best one for you before December 7. 
Why?
Drug plans, drug tiers, and premiums change annually. 
The same drug can be on different tiers in different plans thus changing its cost. 
Don't just assume that what you are presently enrolled in is the best plan for you next year.  
Mail-order is not always the cheapest way anymore to obtain your 90-day prescription.

Need help? I made a screencast to show you how to navigate the 2022 website.  Click here to view it.

If you aren't interested in using the website, then make an appointment now with your pharmacist or local agency offering this service. Following the appointment, try using the Medicare website just to see if you come up with the same recommendation.

You can do this!  Visit medicare.gov on this beautiful Tech Tuesday and give it a try!
