[QUOTE="DRC458, post: 4343663, member: 530"] A classmate of ours, an M.D. who just retired, told us and anybody who would listen to him, to avoid the Medicare Advantage plans like the plague! This was before we retired and were even eligible for Medicare. If we stay with our current Part D coverage for next year, our premiums will more than double (from $24.90 to $59.90). My wife only has one or two prescription meds, but I have several. We have used the same insurance agent since we retired, and we send him a list of all of our meds every year. He compares all of our meds and all of the available Part D plans, and gives us a recommendation as to whether or no to change. We had changed Part D coverage every year except 2023 and 2024, when we stayed with the same one. I'm anxious to see what he comes up with this year. BTW - Plan F is no longer available for new enrollees, unless you were eliglble for Medicare on or prior to January 1, 2020. [/QUOTE]
