Medicare Open Enrollment for 2022 Part D drug plans- CLL patients can change plans despite pre existing conditions

[lankisterguy]

This post is for USA - Medicare eligible patients.

The open enrollment period for 2022 Medicare is now through Dec 7, 2021

Those of us with CLL on traditional Medicare Parts A & B plus a "Medigap" /Supplement plan are essentially locked in to all those plans due to CLL being a pre existing condition.

HOWEVER- the one medical insurance we can change is our Part D- drug plan. To compare plans and find the lowest annual cost go to:

Also one of the largest plans- Express Scripts / Medco has been acquired by Cigna and their 2022 pricing seems to have significant changes, so you may want to check closely - I did and found a significant reason to change.
