Don’t WAIT TILL the LAST MINUTE!
Please don’t wait until the last minute to get yourself enrolled on your new Medicare Part D drug plan for 2008. If you do wait, you will not get your new card and information before the middle to late January. This could cause you problems if you need to get a prescription filled before that time.
Also, there is some confusion as to how many choices you can made during the AEP. We have had calls from people who have enrolled for 2008, THEN want to change again. Please be aware that you can make only one election for 2008. You can understand that if you send up several choices to Medicare they would NOT know which one you want to keep. If you call us and want to cancel your 2008 enrollment that has already been submitted, you cannot do this. If you cancel your choice for 2008, you will not have a drug plan for 2008. We had a lady last week that vowed and declared that Medicare told her she could change her drug plan. She did not understand that SHE COULD CHANGE HER DRUG PLAN, BUT ONLY ONCE!!! Only ONE CHOICE in each AEP or Annual Election Period. This choice can be made each year from Nov. 15th to Dec. 31st.
We have also recieved calls from folks that claim that when they called a particular drug plan company to enroll in a Part D plan, they were sold a Medicare Advantage Plan with a built in Prescription Drug Plan. YOU MUST BE EXTRA CAREFUL WHEN YOU ARE BEING SOLD SOMETHING over the phone, THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE AGREEING TO ENROLL IN. If you feel that you have been misled, you can call Medicare to help you. A Medicare Advantage Plan with a built in PDP is changing your coverage for your doctor and hospital, as well as changing your drug plan.
