Medicare D Appointments
Time to Review Your Medicare Plan
Do you have a Medicare Prescription Drug (Part D) plan? Every year Medicare Part D plans can change the list of prescription medications they will cover. That means even if you are taking the same medications, the amount you pay for your medications may change in 2024! The plans’ premiums, deductibles, and co-pays can also change each year.
What can you do about this? All Medicare beneficiaries should check their Part D coverage each year during Medicare’s annual open enrollment period which runs October 15 through December 7. This is the time of year to find out if your current plan will cost you more, or less than other Part D plans in 2024. If it is no longer the best plan for your medications, this is the time to make a switch to a Part D plan that will suit you better.
You can compare plans on the official Medicare website at Medicare.gov. Medicare beneficiaries in Madison & Monona can also receive free, unbiased assistance with plan comparisons from the case managers at NewBridge Madison. Call NewBridge at 608-512-0000 and ask for the Case Manager on Intake.
