I don't have time right now to explain this whole convoluted problem I'm having, but here's the quick story...

I signed up for Humana PPO that doesn't have drug coverage

Then I signed up for United Health Rx for my drug coverage

I got a letter from United Health Rx saying I had "dis-enrolled"

I called United Health Rx and was told Medicare "dis-enrolled" me

After numerous calls I finally got someone at Medicare saying I'm not allowed to have stand alone drug coverage when I have a PPO.

I called Humana to add a separate drug coverage policy. They have several. But Humana says I am not allowed to have a separate policy with them. I said "but it's your own policy!" Doesn't matter, she said.

I called Medicare back and was told I cannot change my PPO to another plan with drug coverage until the new change period which will be November 15.

AND, I will be charged a minimum of $10 per month penalty for not having drug coverage.Ahhh... yes the idea of government healthcare should scare the heck out of everyone. I get to pay a penalty every month for not having the coverage they dis-enrolled me from. ROFLMHO
