The open enrollment period for Medicare Prescription Drug Plans is
November 15-December 31 each year. If you are satisfied with your
current plan, you do not need to do anything. It will continue to
provide your coverage in the following year unless you change plans.
If your current plan does not cover your needs and you want to look at
other plans in the next open enrollment period, our staff can help
compare plans.
People who are new to Medicare can enroll in a plan three months prior
to their effective date for Medicare, in the month they become
effective, or three months following that month. They have a seven
month window to enroll.
The Medicare website helps narrow the choice of plans in North Carolina
to the least expensive 3 that will provide your medicines.
If you need assistance choosing a plan, come by the senior center to pick up a form that
will give us the list of your medicines. We will schedule an
appointment for one of our prescription drug clinics or call you when
you can pick up your comparison. A link to the form follows:
