Hi Robbie [I assume that is your name!]
I just found this website: https://www.shiphelp.org/
Go to that website and fill in your zip code and it should take you to your State SHIP assistance for Medicare for the State you reside in. I hope I am correct in reading that they give assistance (by State) to Medicare recipients in making a decision about what would be best for you. They also reference "State Assistance", but from what I read, you do not have to be on, or only qualify for, State Assistance for Medicare. I hope I don't send you on a wild goose chase, but I think they are supposed to be of assistance! 😉

Thank you so much! Yes I'm aware of this ship program I have a call into them in the state of Arizona where I live. I do not qualify for State assistance for Medicare I don't meet their income guidelines I wish I did though. I think I'm going to have to let go of the Mayo clinic because it would be no problem switching over the original Medicare at all but the problem would be a part d program for me yes there are supplemental programs for part d with a low or no premium but it's the drugs that cost so much during those programs my prescription meds would cost hundreds of dollars a month and I can't afford it so I may have to look elsewhere my only other option is to fly back to my hometown which is Denver Colorado and see the specialists I was seeing before I came down here. It would only be two or three times a year and I could drive to Las Vegas and the flights from there to Denver are very very cheap that's my only other option. I thank you so much for your information.
