THERE IS A TIME LIMIT FOR SIGNING UP FOR THE DRUG PLAN AND IF IT ISN'T DONE IN THAT TIME LIMIT THAN AN 1% MONTH PENALTY WILL BE CHARGED UNLESS UR POLICY MEETS CERTAIN GUIDELINES. I FEEL BETTER IF EACH PERSON CALLS MEDICARE FOR THE GUIDELINES DUE TO DIFFERING HEALTH INSURANCE SITUATIONS. I JUST READ THIS IN THE TEACHERS NEWSPAPER (OHIO). OTHER QUESTIONS ASK MAYBE-- WHAT DRUGS ARE COVERED? IF YES, THEN HOW MANY PILLS FOR A PARTICULAR DRUG EACH MONTH ARE U ALLOWED? DO NOT ASSUME THAT A '30 DAY SUPPLY' OR' WHATEVER YOUR DOCTOR THINKS U NEED U WILL GET.' WILL BE GIVEN. THERE SHOULD BE A FORMULARY LIST OF DRUGS AND WHAT TO DO INCASES OF NON-FORMULARY DRUGS?? 'WHAT IF I DON'T NEED THE MEDICARE DRUG COVERAGE NOW, BUT AFTER THE CUT OFF DATE MY PRESENT INSURANCE IS NO LONGER OFFERING PRESCRIPTION DRUGS ON THE HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN?'
