Episode notes
Part D Market Is Shrinking Fast
- Part D carrier consolidation has dramatically reduced plan choices and may shrink formularies.
- That raises risk of higher premiums and fewer covered drugs next year, so watch your drug plan carefully.
PPO Flexibility Is Being Phased Out
- PPO options in Medicare Advantage are being downsized in favor of HMOs.
- That reduces network flexibility for a growing share of Advantage enrollees over the next few years.
Review Annual Notices In Early Fall
- Spend about 30 minutes each September/October reviewing your Annual Notice of Change packet.
- If a drug drops or tiers rise, switch plans during enrollment to avoid big out-of-pocket costs in January.
