Confusion to Confidence: Selecting Your Part D Plan
In this four module course, Dr. Allison Lowry will walk you through the intricacies of not just Medicare Part D, but Medicare A and B as well. You'll learn the specific eligibility and enrollment requirements for those parts of Medicare and how your Part D benefits works with them. She'll also take you through which mailed marketing materials you need to pay attention to and which ones are ok to discard. Most importantly, she'll give you detailed, insider information on how the Medicare Part D coverage phases work and what specific information you need to know to determine where you are in each phase.
The additional resource materials included are just what you need to help guide you through the Part D plan selection process and even include specific websites and telephone numbers you may need during the process.
You'll ultimately walk away armed with the knowledge to confidently select which Part D plan will be best for you.
