Here is my public service announcement for those who are on Medicare and have a plan D prescription plan.

The Medicare web site is excellent for searching for the best plan for the coming year – 2025. Do not make the mistake of assuming that your Plan D from 2024 will be the same. You need to evaluate the plans every year for what is best for you.

This is not like your car or house insurance that remain pretty much the same from year to year. These plans can and will change dramatically. I have helped a few people with this and have experienced it personally where drugs that are covered one year are dropped the next. One instance of this was the cost of coverage in a plan for a friend that would have increased his cost over $60,000 because of three drugs that his current plan will no longer cover in 2025.

Please spread the word to family and friends and even people you don’t like. I don’t have an abundance of time to help but I will take the time to at least get you started in the right direction if necessary. The deadline is December 7 unless you have some sort of exemption which you probably do not.

Again … the Medicare web site is excellent; just follow the steps outlined. Have all your drugs ready; all dosages accurate; and you will be directed to the best plan per coverage and cost. Text or call me if you need help.

If you don’t have an online Medicare account it is very easy to register. You will need your Medicare number.
