Medicare Part D Help To the Editor: We at Murray’s Drug would like to remind people who have Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage that now is the open enrollment period which allows changes to your plan. We encourage evaluation of your prescription plan each and every year during the open enrollment period of November 15 through December 31. Our experi ence is that healthcare plans can and do change each year and pharmacy part D plans are no exception. Availability of local pharmacy services covered medications, co-pays, and donut hole coverage are but a few of the options that can differ between insurance companies and the plans they offer. A plan that served you well one year may or may not be the best choice among the plans available the next year. This can be a daunting task however. The good news is that help is available. This help is in the form of a plan comparison tool available on the internet at the address of www.medicare.gov. This is the best way in which to study the available plans because it shows an accurate ‘apples to apples’ comparison and can project anticipated drug coverage and costs using your own personal information and preferences. It is confidential and informative. The only down side to the website is that access to the internet is of course required and even then it can be a challenge to navigate. However, there is more good news! We in Morrow and Gilliam counties have access to this quality comparison tool and access to a person, (living, breathing, and local) who knows the intricacies of the website. So this is the best of both worlds, objec tive information and local help. Usually this combination yields the best decision for you. It is not a salesperson’s opinion (often linked to a sales commission) or a poor comparison which often just confuses. In Morrow County the Morrow County Health District provides this service, they can be reached by calling 541 -676-9133. In Gilliam County the Gilliam County Senior Services provides this service, they can be reached by calling 541-384-2114. Remember, time is of the essence as Medicare allows only the one time period each year for changes, November 15 through December 31.
