Medicare Prescription Part D

[Pete53]

The VA and ChampVA have declared that their prescription benefits are credible plans as seen by Medicare and if a person does not enroll in Part D they will not have to pay a penalty after May 2006.

This is good news I guess.

That is good news because in the future medicare may get a really decent drug benefit and we might benefit from it. I am not holding my breath but the part D plan as it is stinks. No one understands it not even lawyers.

are we suppose to call social security and let them know we have the va? so that they can put that down in our medicare file? anybody know?

I don't think we have too but just in case I plan the usual drill write them and inform them and send it certified return receipt requested.
