Medicare Part D (i.e. drug benefit)

Is there somewhere to obtain the list of drugs that each plan covers without having to call each individual plan provider? That would be the key in my decision.

On www.medicare.gov
there is a place to put in what drugs you are taking and it will bring up the plans that cover those drugs. I think it's under the find a plan section.

I went there and went through all the steps but when it came to part to enter the medications it said "COMING SOON... Medication Entry". Figures. Thanks though, I'll keep checking back.

Sorry about that! I never tried that way when I was on there. I picked the ones available in my state. Surely they will get it the medications link up soon, they know we need it.

I just thought I would let everyone know that the tool to compare drug plans has now been made available at www.medicare.gov

I have been told that it is kind of slow and clunky, so you might have to try multiple times.

I don't know about anyone else, but I think this Part D is a crock.

Right now I only take 2 RX's and the cost(with present RX card) is very
low. With any plan I'll be paying more per month more than the present cost of the drugs alone.I would just be adding the expense of a monthly insurance
charge. I might save money by paying full price for the meds.
