[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you by any change the same person who posted one day earlier:

"We are retired Feds on Medicare w FEP BC/BS as our secondary and we pay high premiums. One of the reasons we chose this as our secondary is because we did not want to be held to the restrictions of the Medicare drug plans.
We received notification before open season that we are being forced into a Medicare drug plan specifically for federal employees. This plan is being aggressively marketed.
We take two expensive medication‘s and one of them is not even listed on their plan. The other drug will force us into the generic version, which is not effective.
I make this post to warn others who may carry the same plans to be diligent. You will need to opt out of the Medicare drug plan in 2 different places or you will be automatically enrolled in Medicare without any change in premiums.
It would be too much to explain in a post so do your research."

Also retired Fed who is turning 65 not yet taking SS. The whole thing is a confusing mess! And changes like this (Plan D) don't make it easier...[/quote]

OP here … no that wasn’t me!

Ok sounds like for that poster the drawback is that the new Medicare part d plan doesn’t cover their expensive drug?[/quote]
