REMINDER . . . the 2023 Medicare Open Enrollment starts October 15, 2022. If you want me to review your existing DRUG plan I will need a current drug list, name of your drug plan carrier and current (2022) premium.

Plan information for 2023 won’t be available until October but it will be helpful to have your drug list (including dosage and preferred drug store) by the first of September.

If you are using GoodRx compare prices against some of the other plans ESPECIALLY if Kroger is your preferred drugstore.

Kroger is now promoting SINGLECARE and shunning GoodRx. I am seeing Publix doing something similar.

If you have not had the Shingrix series, or failed to get your second dose, below are links to check pricing outside of your Part D plan.

Filling with your PDP may involve a higher copay but the drug should count towards your plan deductible. If you use tier 2 and higher drugs it MIGHT be to your advantage to pay the higher copay and apply it toward your deductible.
