Medicare Prescription Plan Open Enrollment 11/15 to 12/31
November 3, 2008 at 7:56 pm | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentThe 2009 open enrollment period for a person to enroll in or change a Medicare prescription drug plan begins on November 15 and ends on December 31, 2008. Because many people with Medicare will see significant changes in their current drug plan premiums or plan coverage, now is the time for people with Medicare to review the changes being made by their current plan and compare it to others to make sure it still meets their needs. Those who don’t have prescription drug coverage can also enroll in a drug plan during open enrollment.
All people with Medicare should:
-
Review the 2009 costs for their current drug and health plan. (Look at premium, co-pays and deductibles.)
-
Compare the cost and coverage to other plans in their area. (Check to see if the plan covers their medicines, works with their pharmacy and doctors, and covers the services they need.)
-
Choose a plan that meets their needs.
Review your plan and act early to avoid any inconvenience at the pharmacy counter in January. Plans change. You change. Now is the time to shop and compare. Go to www.medicare.gov or call 800/MEDICARE (800/633 4227) or TTY 877/486-2048.
