Hi Everyone,

Hope all is doing well.Can anyone tell me when your get Medical D do you need any other insurance?
I was fully favored but haven't received any money yet.Still waiting of course.But I should receive Medical D benefits in August this year.How do you know what to do when the booklet comes.It sounds confusing.

Thank you Mary

Thanks Mary

You have to apply for it....Since you did not apply for it by Dec.31, 06 your going to face a penalty....You need to search what your states supplemental or advantage plus plans are...

When you received you disablity you were automatically enrolled in Part A and B ONLY....it's up to you to enroll in Part D....

You need to do a google search on Part D and your state...

Thanks Sam,

I didn't recieve my letter so I don't know when Medicare D will start.Can I drop my insurance when A & B start or do I need to keep?

Thanks again Mary

Hey Mary I had posted that answer in your health insurance thread....It's really up to you on what you are comfortable with...I really explained how I did it, so the long answer is in your health insurance thread....

Your welcome.....
