Our Health Insurance Specialists advise everyone with Medicare to review their prescription drug plan before December 31, 2007. This is the ONLY time of the year to make changes in Medicare D plans.

Reasons to review Medicare D plans:

• To get the best coverage for the lowest premium. In the last year many of the 53 drug plans offered in Maine have changed either the drugs the plan covers or the premium charged.
• Prescribed medications may have changed.

Health insurance specialists from SMAA offer FREE help with enrollment and comparing drug plans. In most locations, appointments are necessary by calling 396-6500 in the Portland area or 1-800-427-7411.

The easiest way to enroll in a Medicare Part D plan is online at www.medicare.gov, which also is the best way to get a fair and full cost comparison between the 53 plans available. SMAA specialists use the Medicare web site at “Medicare D Help Clinics” to help you decide on the plan that provides the best coverage for the lowest price.
