I want to share some information regarding a new Medicare program that will begin on July 1 for those of you that are on a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan. This includes the stand alone plans as well as those drug plans that are included with your Medicare Advantage Plan. This new program will cap your copay on certain GLP-1 weight loss drugs at $50 providing you meet the criteria. I have attempted to list those rules in these screenshots.

Anyone that has an Anthem Advantage Plan WITH Medicaid in the state of KY will be losing the features of this plan at the end of February. You will be disenrolled from this plan as Anthem has lost their contract with KY Medicaid.

The Anthem Advantage plans WITHOUT Medicaid ARE NOT AFFECTED. Please disregard anything you hear about those plans.

It’s that time of year again and it’s your opportunity to look at making changes to your Medicare plan enrollment. There are a lot of changes this year, both good and bad, that will affect each of you differently based on your health care needs. There are some of you that may have even received notification from Humana that your present plan is no longer available. Please feel free to contact me to discuss alternative plans and answer any questions that you may have. It’s going to be a very busy enrollment period, but I can assure you I will return your call in a timely manner!

We are now inside the open enrollment period for Medicare. If you have any questions or are unhappy with the plan you have please give me a call. If you have been affected by the issues between the Baptist Health network and certain advantage plans then please give me a call and we can look at great plan that will most likely keep you from having to change your current doctors.

We are getting closer to Medicare open enrollment and as we do so you will see your uninvited phone calls increase from people hoping to change your existing plan. Please remember Medicare will NEVER call you, unless you have written in to them asking for a response to a concern or you have called them and specifically asked for a return phone call. Medicare will send you mail if they need to discuss something with you. Do NOT give out your Medicare identification number over the phone unless you are wanting someone to switch your existing plan. That is the only reason you are receiving that phone call. Please feel free to contact myself or anyone in our office with any questions. Also, beginning Oct. 1 we will be able to discuss any 2024 plan information for the open enrollment period that runs Oct. 15-Dec. 7
