For People with Medicare it’s that time of the Year again…
November 15 - December 31 is the only time during the year that most Medicare Part D participants can elect to change plans.
As you review your current plan – ask these questions:
• Is my current plan the best option for me?
• Am I getting the most from my current plan?
• Do I know my prescription Drug Plan options?
• Do I qualify for financial Assistance?
Lewis Drugs will have personnel in many of our stores to help you with those decisions and assist with enrollment. We will also have information available on many plans at our stores. Contact your local Lewis Drug Pharmacy or call 605-367-2000 for a schedule. Lewis Drugs is here to help you with those hard Medicare Part D decisions.
Tip: If you are a duel eligible Part D Participant, you can change plans anytime during the year.

Medicare is now offering insurance coverage for prescription drugs through Medicare prescription drug plans. Insurance companies and other private companies have worked with Medicare to offer these plans. These plans will help you save money on your prescription drug costs. Medical practice has come to rely more and more on new drug therapies to treat chronic
conditions and out-of-pocket spending on drugs has increased dramatically. In order to get this prescription coverage, you must choose and enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan that meets your needs.
