How To Sign Up For Your Prescription Drug Plan

As more agencies are unable to assist with Part D Prescription Drug Plans (PDP), we are creating a hub for education on our website with written instructions and video tutorials. Even if you were happy with your drug plan for 2026, we strongly recommend you look at the 2027 plans. It is common for formularies (what is covered) and pharmacies (where it is covered) to change from year to year.

You're in the driver's seat with these thorough tutorials and explanations, empowering you to make the best decision for you and your budget, directly on Medicare's website.  

Below you will find two videos. Further down this article you will see the step-by-step written instructions to select your PDP plan for 2027.
