Every year, patients like with a Medicare health or prescription drug plan have the opportunity to make changes to their plan during the Medicare Annual Open Enrollment Period that takes place October 15th through December 7th.
Medicare Part D plans can vary year-to-year, generally in the form of rising premiums and changes to prescription coverage. That’s why it’s very important patients review their current plan each year to ensure it's still the best option.
There are many options and it can be difficult for patients to pick a plan that best fits their individual needs.
We need to reassure patients that our Chancy Drugs team is here to help!
WHAT WE'RE DOING TO HELP
At zero cost to patients, during the Annual Open Enrollment Period our team of Medicare specialists will do a personal review of their current Medicare Part D plan to ensure it’s still the best option.

Led by Renee Davis, who has over 30 years of Medicare experience, our team of Medicare specialists help give patients peace of mind in knowing the plan they select for 2021 will be the most beneficial option for them in the new year.
