Speaker: Medicare D plans confusing but important
There have been changes every year to Medicare Part D since it was first enacted in 2006, and 2012 will be no exception to that rule.

Earlier enrollment process for Medicare Part D recipients
Medicare Part D s open-enrollment session Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 is earlier this year, and SHIP director Sandy Leith said she worries that some of the 1 million Illinois seniors with Part D plans aren t aware and will miss the deadline to make changes in their coverage.

Medicare D signup change means earlier deadlines
An earlier open enrollment period for Medicare Part D means an earlier deadline for choosing prescription drug coverage plans.
