Tips for enrolling in a drug program
If you want to stay in traditional Medicare, enroll in a Stand-Alone prescription drug plan, or PDP.
If you attend a meal sponsored by a Medicare insurer, expect an aggressive sales pitch from commissioned sales people.
If you call Medicare for help (1-800-663-42273), you can shorten your wait for an operator by saying the word "agent" during the recorded message.
Though you might want Medicare's representative to discuss your options with you on the phone, also ask the agent to send the choices to you in writing. For information or to sign up, call toll-free 1-800-633-4227.
