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.
