REGARDING MEDICARE PART D: words to the financially wise.
EVERY YEAR we need to call Medicare with insurance and Medicare cards in hand as well as your prescription medicine list. Ask which company will give you the best deal. For example, last year for me it was Well Care. If I had opted to just continue on with them their charge would have gone way up. So I changed this year to Aetna Silver Script for the best deal. Depending on your meds, for you it may be a different company. All I’m suggesting is that it is important to reconsider your Part D provider EVERY YEAR.

Consider this a time of annual price bidding for Part D charges and spend ten minutes of your time talking with a helpful Medicare employee. Doing so will save you hundreds of dollars.

My husband is changing this year from Silver Script to United Healthcare AARP Walgreens. We are saving $600.0 by switching. His prescriptions come by mail and they use Optum RX. For an occasional prescription it is cheaper to use Walgreens.

Yes, it is good to check each year! Eileen
