Answer 1

Your mom is lucky to have you to help her. Medicare Part D plans--and the prescription drugs and prices each plan covers--can be confusing. The web-site you are looking for is Medicare.gov.

If you and your Mom would like some help in answering this question from real people--and how it will work if you need to change the Part D plan you have to another one to get the drugs you need--I would recommend that you contact the Area Agency on Aging where you live. You would need to have the listing of all the prescriptions you are taking, the dosages prescribed and also the pharmacy that you prefer to do business with. Professionals at the Area Agency on Aging can provide guidance in helping seniors and their caregivers deal with the peculiarities of Medicare Part D--and other public benefits available to older Americans. You will most likely find the professional staff there friendly and helpful--and they are not selling any particular plan or product. They also know the latest "scoop" on changes that are still happening with Medicare Part D in your state. (Yes! More changes are happening!)

If you live in the United States or one of the territories, there is an Area Agency on Aging serving where you live. You can call toll-free 1-800-677-1116 to find how to contact the one serving you.

If you do contact your local Area Agency on Aging and like the help that they give you, let your local county officials and your folks in Congress know. Area Agencies on Aging are funded under the Older Americans Act and they don't have big budgets for the important work they do.

Hope this helps! Best wishes to you and your Mom!

Answer 2

http://www.mymedicare.gov/ or www.medicare.gov...I highly recommend getting the book "Healthcare for Less" by Michelle Katz because it will go over some terms you need to know and explain Part D in a simple fashion on page 95....I use the book as a guide and it has helped me tremendously! Go to www.healthcareforless.us and you will find some of the MEdicare chapter there...check out the reviews at "buy a book" and you can see what else people like about it....good luck and remember if she has good perscription drug coverage, she should keep it and be suer she gets a letter of creditability from the company so she will not get penalties if she decided to sign up at a later date....good luck!
