Question

Mrs. Roswell is a new Medicare beneficiary who has just retired from retail work. She is interested in selecting a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan. She takes a number of medications and is concerned that she has not been able to identify a plan that covers all of her medications. She does not want to make an abrupt change to new drugs that would be covered and asks what she should do. What should you tell her?

Answer 1

Answer:

The main issue she has is with the incorporation of the demands of all her medications with her new plan without having to make an abrupt change to new drugs that would be covered by the plan.

She should be advised and enlightened about how every Part D drug plan is required to cover a single one-month fill of her existing medications sometime during a 90 day transition period.
