Medicare Part D Information Center
Turning 65 and eligible for Medicare? Need help understanding the Medicare Prescription Drug or Part D benefit? We can help you understand Medicare Part D Prescription Plans and find your lowest cost options.
You can feel confident you are getting the right Prescription Drug Plan with Hartzell's Pharmacy resources at your command. We've made it easier than ever to find the right plan quickly and easily. Choose from the comfort of your home or come in and talk with one of our pharmacy staff members.
Enrollment Periods:
January 1 - November 14: New Medicare Part D Customers - You need to compare Prescription Drug Plans and sign up for one this year if you are Medicare-eligible and did not sign up before (Penalties may apply for late sign-up).
October 15 - December 7: Annual Enrollment Period - Existing and new Medicare Part D customers can compare plans and choose the coverage that best fits their needs. Beginning this year (2011 for enrollment in the 2012 plan year), the Annual Enrollment Period will run from October 15 through December 7. This is a change from previous years. If a beneficiary makes a change to their coverage, the new coverage will take effect on January 1.

You can also use Medicare's Online Medicare Advisor at home anytime. This is a FREE, confidential and secure 24/7 tool. Just answer a few simple questions online from the comfort of your home and in minutes, you'll have a complete list of plans in your area covering your medications, along with costs.

Prescription Drug Coverage Costs
Each plan can vary in cost and drugs covered. Medicare's Online Medicare Advisor can help you find and compare plans in your area. Your Part D monthly premium could be higher based on your income. This includes Part D coverage you get from a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, or a Medicare Advantage Plan or Medicare Cost Plan that includes Medicare prescription drug coverage. If your modified adjusted gross income as reported on your IRS tax return from 2 years ago (the most recent tax return information provided to Social Security by the IRS) is above a certain amount, you will pay a higher monthly premium. For more information, visit Social Security's website.
Many people qualify to get Extra Help paying their Medicare prescription drug costs but don't know it. Most who qualify and join a Medicare drug plan will get 95% of their costs covered. Don't miss out on a chance to save. Extra Help and other programs (like Medicare Savings Programs) may help make your health care and prescription drug costs more affordable.
