I'm deep in the weeds with Part D and Supplement research [View all]

Our current plans with UCare in Minnesota are not offered next year - they're offering no Medicare plans at all. I'm going to miss them; they were great. But I can't find a combo Part D and supplement, so I have to look at 2 separate plans now. I categorically refuse to get an Advantage plan.

I've finally pretty well limited the Part D options, as DH has a lot of meds and I had to go through everyone's formulary. I did have to go on several websites that wouldn't let me have the info without supplying an email and phone #. I only gave one company anything and started getting the hard sell immediately, so I'm now just lying about that.

Now my only steps are to make sure our doctors and nearby hospital are in network and also get any suggestions about whether they recommend any companies I haven't run across yet. So, I'm near the finish line. DH wants to know if ever other senior in America has to do this and is it even fair. I told him 1) Yes and 2) No.

And if anybody has the phone # 612-222-3333, I apologize. I tried for 111-222-3333, but the internet knew that was phony. I'm pretty sure there's no such email as xxx@email.com.
