Medicare beneficiaries – it’s time to review your prescription drug plan for 2020. Annual change notices are being sent. They will disclose any change in premium and deductible. Some plans tell if a medication you currently take will not be covered in 2022. Some plans send a booklet of covered medications with the mailing. If your plan doesn’t, call them and ask for one to be sent to you. Look through this list for your medications. See if they are covered and if there are any special requirements for coverage.
If you need help with your plan, Jeanne Murray, Nebraska State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) volunteer, will be returning to assist clients from October 18 – December 7 at the Box Butte County Extension Office, 415 Black Hills Ave, Alliance, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays each week from 9:00 – 3:00. Remember you must have an appointment, bring your Medicare card, a list of your medications and your MyMedicare web account user name and password, if you have one.
Don’t wait until January 2023 to find out what medications your Part D plan won’t cover or what your new premiums are! Call 308-632-6554 to schedule your appointment. Leave a message with your name and a call back number.
