Prescription Drug Insurance Plan is screwed up

I applied to a company on December 6th I think, and when I called to check, they said my application was denied because I applied somewhere else, which wasn’t true.
I just checked with Medicare and they said I was enrolled in their plan. I called the company back, and they said I was enrolled as of yesterday. I haven’t received a ID Card from them yet. They are a cheaper plan than the one I was enrolled in. I just sent the old company a premium payment, but my enrollment in their plan was cancelled, so I have to try and get my money back from them.

I’m going to check with the head pharmacist Monday at my psychiatric care provider’s pharmacy. They used to have a data base they could look up my insurance in. I got my member ID number from Medicare.
I’m just hoping she can find them in the data base, so I won’t have to show them an ID card.

Medicare is such a pain…I had a hard time picking the right plan …fortunately I received my card for my new plan in the mail a couple weeks ago.

I hope you are able to get it all sorted out.

Thanks Bowens. There’s probably nothing I can do until Monday. I’ll try to talk to whoever is at the pharmacy tomorrow, and see if they can help. They open at 9am. They will probably tell me to talk to Susan Monday.

I was going to get a shingles shot Monday, but I guess it’s going to have to wait. I have 20 Abilify pills left, so I should be okay.

I hope it’s worked out soon!

With the Medicare Health Insurance (with the US government for elderly or disabled people) you have to buy prescription drug coverage because the government insurance doesn’t include drug coverage.

oh yea, that sounds complex =O
Here we just go to the pharmacy and it’s arranged with the healthcare to get the full payment to them.
