FAQ’S and Alerts

PLANS F AND C WILL BE DISCONTINUED IN 2020

ONLY FOR THOSE NEW TO MEDICARE AFTER JANUARY 1, 2020

BEWARE!

There is a scam in which some companies are trying to scare you into giving up a plan F and enroll with their company. It is true that there are other plans that may be more economical, but if the Plan F is working for you and you wish to keep it, you can.

 

SCAM ALERT

Recently many of us have been receiving recorded phone calls identifying the caller as a representative of the office of Social Security. The caller states that your account has been the victim of fraudulent activity and that your account is in danger of being suspended. This is a SCAM. Do not respond by connecting with a representative. Never provide any personal information to one of these callers. Social Security will never call you requesting information.

Question: I have a plan F now. Do I lose it in 2020?

Answer: No. You can keep the Plan F as long as you choose.

Question: I have another plan other than F. Can I enroll in a Plan F after 2020?

Answer: Yes. You may enroll in a Plan F as long as you meet the underwriting conditions of the company to which you are applying.

Question: I will be entering Medicare in January of 2020. Can I enroll in a Plan F?

Answer: No.

Reminder

Changes can be made in your Part D Medicare drug plan annually only from October 15th-December 7th. This is the annual enrollment period. This is the time you can make changes to your drug plan. Recent changes in how insurance companies and drug manufacturers interact will affect current drug plans. To assure that your plan best meets your current needs, it is important to review your plan and drug list annually. Please mail, email, or bring your current drug list to our office by the end of September. We will review the list to help you determine which plan you prefer.
