if you are a senior.

I started looking at my part D options a couple of weeks ago. For the past few years things have been stable and I've just rolled over to the same plan, meds change etc. but all was relatively the same. Not so this year, a drug from the dermatologist has suddenly become very expensive under my plan, not a large concern because if needed ($50 to $700+) Not too concerned because it is not needed too often, but do wonder why the jump in cost?

No longer covering Synthroid, just a generic which makes my thyroid med which makes my numbers fluctuate too much.

Bottom line with the drugs that Medicare can negotiate for and the reduced out of pocket maximum I'm thinking the plans/companies need to make the deficit up somewhere.

So check your plans, I'm not touching my supplemental plan but do look at part D each year.
