What should I do now to get ready?
1) Apply for supplemental Medicare insurance if you think you might qualify. If you make less than $16,245 ($21,855 for a couple), you should apply for extra help with costs.
2) Record the names and costs of your current drugs.
3) Talk with your doctor about your drugs. Ask which ones are on the Medicare plans’ drug lists, called formularies. If your drugs are not on the Medicare formularies, ask if the formulary has a drug you can take instead—and how you should switch over to this drug.
4) If you need help with Medicare, ask your family or friends to help you.
