Medicare Open Enrollment for Part D Prescription Drug Plans is from October 15 – December 7, and we want to help you make sure that the plan you have meets your needs in 2020. If you have Medicare, please contact us for a free “Medicare Part D Check Up!”
Important changes to note:
December 7, 2019 Deadline for Medicare Open Enrollment for Part D Prescription Drug Plans
- Act now! Everyone must act before the December 7 deadline or you may not be able to switch plans until next year.
Online Medicare Account Creation
- Medicare now requires you to create a free ‘MyMedicare’ online account in order to do a Part D analysis. Staff and volunteers can help you do this.
New Medicare Card and New ID Number
- Everyone should have received a new Medicare card in the mail with a new ID number. Beginning in January 2020, your old Medicare card will not work, and you will have to show your new card to all of your healthcare providers. If you do not have a new card yet, contact Medicare at 1-800-633-4227 to confirm your address and ask them to send you a new card.
