Nov. 15 - Dec. 31: My Part D USA Asks, Do You Speak Medicare Part D

As seniors begin to consider the Medicare Part D Drug Plan annual enrollment period starting Nov. 15 thru Dec. 31, most are unclear which plan will save them the most money.

According to Christopher and Karyn Blake, founder of a new service called My Part D USA, "There has been much controversy about how this new benefit has been handled. Many changes need to be made, such as bidding by pharmaceutical companies for Medicare benefits. This activity would do much to lower prices and eliminate the blank check the government currently provides to drug manufacturers. Until these necessary changes are made, we must make the most of benefits, and seniors and their families need help now."

Confusion related to the advertising of Medicare Advantage Plans lead seniors to enroll in plans they were not aware were not using their traditional Medicare benefits. After joining these plans, seniors had no health coverage because doctors would not accept the terms of payment from the private fee-for-service plans or Medicare Advantage Plans.

"Seniors who have joined an MAP and feel misled or are unhappy for any reason have 12 months to get back on their traditional Medicare benefits with no underwriting, Many Senior Citizens feel they have no recourse, but that is not the case - during the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) for Medicare Part D drug plans, there will be many sites online that will ask seniors to pay a fee for a Part D comparison report," added Blake. "There is no need to pay when that information is available free at Medicare.gov or at MyPartDusa.com."

My Part D USA's Web site "> provides seniors with needed help and caring assistance to ensure they are enrolling in the plan that will cover their drugs at the lowest prices.
