Enrolling in a Plan
In making a decision about a plan, beneficiaries should, at a minimum, do the following:
- Check to see if their prescription drugs are covered by a plan
- Find out which pharmacies the various drug plans use in the beneficiaries' area to make sure they are convenient
- Determine if the monthly fees work for them
General information on the plans available in Kansas is available by clicking the "Learn More About Plans in Your Area" link on the Medicare website.
Specific information relative to the drugs included on specific plan formularies is available on the Medicare Formulary Finder.
Medicare has also launched its Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder. This tool will allow beneficiaries to:
- Learn about the Medicare prescription drug coverage
- Find and compare prescription drug plans that meet their personal needs
- Enroll in the prescription drug plan that they select
Of course, many seniors may not have Internet access or may be unable to navigate the Medicare site. Anyone may call Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas (SHICK) at 1-800-860-5260 and receive personal assistance from trained counselors.
