Medicare Beneficiaries - It's January and things are delayed on the Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage Front - Again

Well, it's January now, so we have the usually backlog of enrollees who signed up for Part D or MA - Part D plans who have not received governement confirmation - and who have also not received their new ID cards. This shouldn't be old news, and should have been expected, but I think it's very frustrating the seniors shouldn't have the security of a speedy delivery of their information packets and ID cards.

I'm sure that agents are doing all they can to expidite the process, but as usual, the process is behind schedule. If you did sign up for a new prescriptin plan, or a Medicare Advantage Plan (MA PD) last month, and you don't have your packet, your copy of the application should serve as proof in case you need to get medication or medical care.

If you have a problem, contact your agent or your insurance company, and they should help you.
