View Mike Kerl's profileEvery year you can choose a different prescription plan during the Annual Enrollment Period (Oct 15 - Dec 7th). During that time you should go online and input your prescriptions into the government website to help determine the best coverage for the upcoming calendar year. There are no medical questions to be answered during this time. It's important to do this exercise since your current prescription plan may change it's formulary and no longer cover your medicine under their new formulary. It's easy to enroll in a new plan, all you have to do is click "enroll" once you make your decision. By enrolling into a new plan, your current plan will be automatically terminated Jan1st.
