A huge Medicare Part D Update for 2020. This is very important for anyone that used Medicare\\u2019s Part D Plan Finder when shopping for their Medicare Part D plan for 2020.

In October, Medicare decided to roll out a new and \\u201cimproved\\u201d Part D Plan Finder on their website on October 1st, 2019 only two weeks before the Annual Enrollment period. Unfortunately, the information in the Plan Finder was found to be conflicting with the information from the Part D carriers. Zip codes were incorrect, pharmacies, the premiums but most importantly the costs of the medications. There were numerous errors with their system. Unfortunately, anyone that was shopping for their Part D plan without the assistance of an agent or broker wouldn\\u2019t know if there were errors in the system and took their information as gospel.

This has resulted in many seniors with the wrong Part D plan. Luckily, Medicare has admitted the mistake and has allowed a Special Election Period under this specific circumstance. On Medicare\\u2019s website it reads: \\u201cIf you believe you believe you made the wrong plan choice because of inaccurate or misleading information, including using Plan Finder, call 1-800-MEDICARE and explain your situation. Call center representatives can help you throughout the year with options for making changes.\\u201d

Senior Healthcare Direct\\u2019s customer service agents have tested this SEP and it works! So please, if you feel that you have purchased the wrong Medicare Part D plan because of incorrect information on their Plan Finder, give Medicare a call and explain the situation to them and they will correct the mistake and put you on the Part D plan that\\u2019s best for you.
