HOW CAN I SURVIVE THE MARKETING AVALANCHE AND AVOID SCAMS?
Medicare prescription drug plans began marketing their plans directly to you on October 1, 2005. Through the airwaves, newspapers, mailboxes, e-mail, and the telephone, companies may be bombarding you with marketing materials. You should have received Medicare’s “Medicare & You 2006” booklet as well. Although this marketing may be informative, it may also be designed to influence you to choose a plan that may not be the best one for you. That is why it is VERY IMPORTANT to take your time, compare plans and understand your choices before you make any decisions.
