I've found this now, thanks to all for pointers. The key to the search is that point about " drug list " . > You have six weeks after October 15, 2005 to decide on which coverage > you want, that's the date they list the formularies for the new > plans, otherwise they will randomly assign you to a plan. > > Take care, > RH Well, forgive me if this opens a whole can of email threads, but does anyone have any tips on navigating the Medicare drug plans (pointers to the choices, or even better, advice or pointers to same)? I don't know, perhaps the formularies will be at least somewhat Massachusetts-specific, but my understanding is that the MA plans are the standard set of plans, from the " new " federal legislation. For discussion purposes, let's say that we're trying to optimize for someone with very little income besides SSDI, and " relatively " low meds expense, i.e. nothing wildly expensive (so far). Or is it so complicated that even that isn't enough information to pick a likely best plan? I'm asking this for myself, of course, but I'm hoping mine is generally a common enough situation to be useful to others. Steve D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
