In regard to prescription drug coverage you may either:
Join, drop, or switch to another Medicare Advantage Plan (or add or drop drug coverage).
Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage Plan or from a Medicare Advantage Plan to Original Medicare.
Join, drop, or switch to another Medicare drug plan if you’re in Original Medicare.
Medications seniors take can change quite often and it is worth taking a look at which plan you are currently on to see if it is the most cost effective.
Medicare offers an easy to use Part D plan calculator to help you determine the best plan for you. You enter each medication you currently take and the calculator will determine your costs for both premiums and drug cost as well as compare all Part D plans available in our region.
This is the link to the calculator:

If you need any assistance with the calculator or have any other questions regarding your Part D coverage feel free to reach out to me via email at
