What You Need To Know

If you enroll in a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plan that has prescription drug coverage ("MA-PD") you will automatically be enrolled in Part D.
If you elect to enroll in a Prescription Drug Plan ("PDP") only, all medical services must be obtained through Original Medicare. You cannot be enrolled in a PDP and a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug ("MA-PD") Plan at the same time.
Medicare recipients with limited income and resources can get extra help paying for their prescription drug coverage.
Ending Your Membership: If you decide to disenroll in the health plan, you have certain rights and responsibilities. Ending your membership in the health plan may be voluntary (your own choice) or involuntary (not your own choice). You may leave the health plan because you decide that you may want to leave. There are also limited situations where the health plan is required to end your membership. For example, if you move permanently out of the health plan's geographic service area. You also have the right to make a complaint if the health plan ends your membership. The health plan will tell you its reasons in writing and explain how you may file a complaint. For more information about ending your membership, please refer to your Evidence of Coverage.
