It’s the time of year to begin thinking about Medicare Open Enrollment. Open enrollment runs from October 15 – December 7, with coverage beginning January 1. This is the time of year when you should review your Medicare prescription drug coverage and make changes if your current plan no longer meets your needs or if you could lower your out-of-pocket expenses.
During your appointment we will make sure all your prescription medications are on the plan formulary in 2023, and that your pharmacy is still in the plan network. Costs such as deductibles and copays can change from year to year. Using the plan finder, we can identify whether your current plan will best meet your needs for 2023 and compare it to other options that are available. The goal is to make sure you understand how your plan works and to make an informed decision.
The extension office will be helping beneficiaries with comparison, selection and enrollment in drug plans again this year. Email Brenda at bklangdon@ksu.edu or call 785-346-2521 to schedule an appointment. Brenda will be scheduling appointments in all five counties in the Post Rock District (Osborne, Smith, Jewell, Mitchell and Lincoln).
