I have a question about Medicare drug plans [View all]

I guess we are talking about what they call part D. I don’t have one I just have straight Medicare, so far my prescriptions have been quite reasonable with the coupon. But I have a feeling I’m going to be diagnosed with something that requires more drugs. Can a person sign up for part D drug plan any time of the year?

I did the same thing. They shouldn't have let us sign up like that without fair warning. I didn't have a drug plan brewens Feb 2024 #4

The penalty should end after two years? JustABozoOnThisBus Feb 2024 #8

How long have you been on Medicare? Medicare should be able to tell you what the penalty will be, if any. JustABozoOnThisBus Feb 2024 #9
