I have a Medigap plan that covers prescription drugs. Can I keep that plan and also choose Medicares prescription drug coverage?
No. If you choose to enroll in one of Medicare’s prescription drug plans, you won’t be allowed to renew a Medigap policy that also covers prescription drugs (plans H, I, or J). However, you can choose another Medigap plan that doesn’t offer drug coverage. And, you can choose to stay with your current Medigap policy until Medicare’s drug coverage starts in 2006.
