Geez why didn't I know Medicare was so damn confusing and frustrating?

10. IcyPeas, please contact your Council on Aging or your local senior center

The Council on Aging took less than 5 minutes to tell me the provider with the cheapest Plan F, which I knew I wanted.

Plan G coverage is the same as Plan F, but does not cover the deductible.

Part D is a confusing mess, but the Council on Aging can plug in your current meds & tell you which provider offers the best price & what your out-of-pocket will be.

I was amazed at the huge difference in prices for Plan F supplement! 😱 the most expensive was $260 per month, but the Farm Bureau was only $120 per month!

For the supplement, all carriers must offer identical coverage for each category. Not so with Plan D for drugs.

If you wait to sign up for Plan D, there is a 1% per month penalty that you will pay for life! I didn't choose one, personally. I use Kroger's discount program. $36 per year to join & generics are $12 for a 90 day supply. At least for the few meds I have used.

I hope this helps!
