What is Medicare Part D? Medicare Part D offers prescription drug coverage to everyone with Medicare. If you decide not to join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan when you're first eligible, and you don't have other creditable prescription drug coverage, or you don't get Extra Help, you'll likely pay a late enrollment penalty. To get MedicarePart D drug coverage, you must join a plan run by an insurance company or other private company approved by Medicare. Each plan can vary in cost and drugs covered.
What is the Medicare Open Enrollement period? The Medicare Open Enrollment period is the time frame that qualifying persons for Medicare can enroll in a plan (if they are first time enrollees), or re-enroll, either in their current plan, or in a new plan.
When is the 2016 Medicare Part D Open Enrollment? This year's Medicare Part D Open Enrollment runs from October 15, 2017 - December 7, 2017.
