Hamm: Review Medicare Part D plan by Dec. 7

Bismarck  (CSi)  North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Adam Hamm  reminds North Dakota’s Medicare beneficiaries that the Medicare Part D open enrollment period ends December 7, 2016 . Medicare Part D provides prescription drug coverage.

“Part D plans change every year,” Hamm said, “so I encourage everyone to review them to make sure they’re getting the coverage they need at the lowest cost.”

Medicare beneficiaries can still do a plan comparison 24 hours a day, seven days a week online at Medicare.gov or by calling Medicare at 1-800-633-4227. Hold times can be long this time of year so callers should phone in as soon as possible.
