SPONSOR LETTERHEAD Dear Client, During the past year, we did a Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage Plan drug comparison for you. Open Enrollment is from October 15th through December 7th. During this time, you will have the option to change to a different prescription drug plan for 2016. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO CHANGE? Each year, Medicare Prescription Drug plans are revised. Revisions may involve; Changes to monthly premiums, deductibles and copayments, Restrictions may be such as prior authorization, step therapy, or quantity limits, Not all of your medications may be covered due to formulary changes With these changes it is possible that the plan you have for 2015 will not be the best plan for you in 2016. Therefore we strongly encourage you to request a comparison. If you would like SHIIP to do a comparison for you we need a list of your current medications. We have enclosed a copy of your drug list from last year.
