Some info about choosing a Medicare drug plan...http://seniorjournal.com/NEWS/Medic...Medicare-Drug-Plan-May-Help-Meet-Deadline.htm
There are 2 ways to get Medicare prescription drug coverage. ● You can join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan and keep your health coverage under Original Medicare.
● Or, you can join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that includes Medicare drug coverage and get your Medicare benefits through a private insurance company.
Whichever you choose, prescription drug coverage can vary by cost, coverage, convenience, and quality. Some of these things might be more important to you than others, depending on your situation and prescription drug needs.
No matter which type of Medicare drug plan you join, your plan will send you information about plan changes each fall. You should review your prescription drug needs and compare Medicare drug plans during Medicare Open Enrollment. You can make changes to your coverage October 15 and through December 7.
