Examining MedicationsTake the Rx Enrollment Check-up Today, and Get the Most Out of Your Medicare

Medicare’s open enrollment starts November 15. Now is the time to evaluate your current plan—has it met your needs this year? Medicare recommends taking this quick Rx Enrollment Check-up.

  1. COST: Will your premium and costs change in 2007?

  2. COVERAGE: Do you need more coverage in 2007? Will the prescription drugs you take be covered by your plan in 2007?

  3. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Are you satisfied with your plan’s service?
