In California, I called SHIP and discovered that the appointments were booked 3 weeks in advance. Just something to be aware of.LarryG wrote:I have not enrolled in part D in the past because my diabetic medications were paid in full by my medicare supplemental insurance.
This year because of the possibility of needing expensive medication, I decided to enroll in part D.
I'm sure that my total cost will be higher, but I think of it as insurance. I hope that I don't need the high cost medication (chemotherapy) but if I do, it will be covered by part D.
I carry insurance on my house and I don't wish to have a fire so that I can collect.

I agree that the Medicare website does a wonderful job of helping out with the Part D decision.
