 Some
Part D enrollment tips
Information on Medicare Part D
empowers you to make the right choices!
|
Important
Dates:
You may change your Part D or
Medicare advantage plan back to traditional Medicare only
between November 15 and December 31, 2009. You may also
select a different Medicare Advantage plan between November
15 and December 31, 2009.
Between January 1 and March 31, 2010, you may also change to
another "like-kind" Medicare Advantage insurance company,
BUT NOT BACK to traditional Medicare. "Like-kind" means that
if, for example, your existing Medicare Advantage plan also
includes Part D coverage, then your switch during this later
period can only be to another plan that also covers Part D. |

Which
2010 Medicare Advantage Plan, or Part "D" Plan is
best for my
medical needs and
my
medications?
. REMEMBER: Insurers
can radically change the
conditions and details of their plans every year,
and this
year they have done it with a vengeance.
You must
check them out
every
year.
It is
nearly impossible to know if you have the best Part , or Medicare
Advantage Plan, at the lowest price, that covers your
prescriptions and medical requirements - - unless you have the right tool.
Here is
the right tool.
The
absolute best tool
for finding the right "Medicare Advantage Plan", or the
right Part "D" Plan is the one
offered by
Medicare.gov.

WARNING: Do not
use any private search tool to make your
choices, since most of them only include plans on
which the private site owner can earn a
commission. There may be a "best-choice" plan for
your needs that you will never see at those sites.
Click the appropriate bar below and go directly to
the correct search page at the Official
Medicare site.
WARNING-2: Be
very careful with any information you receive at
meetings
held by individual insurance companies. That
pleasant person who is telling you about how great
their programs are - - is most likely a
commissioned salesman. I attended one on November
17, 2009, and heard several incorrect
representations. If you believe that you have been
mislead at one of these meetings, call Medicare
and report it. These folks are mostly honest, but
it is hard not to slant the information when
looking at a fat commission. |
