I've been seraching in the Archives for any information that was posted on the New Law which became effected in May. It pertains to the Elderly and their Medical Drug Coverage. Please correct me if there is any.
Today, MAMA went to her doctors. She also went to her see her Pharmacist to get her monthly medications. He informed her that she no longer had any Drug Coverage from HMSA.
Luckily, MAMA's Pharmacist knows her. He said she is not the only one this has happened to. He also advised her not to call HMSA to renew or get another Drug Plan. They would ask for a $250.00 upfront Fee. Instead, he gave her a print-out for me to read and a number to call.
I did. The representative: professional, caring and made sure everything would be sent to MAMA ASAP. Medicare would be billed. She wouldn't have to pay anything upfront.
The company's name is AARP Ph. 1-888-687-2277.
What makes angry? I saw the announcement in the media. I did call Social Security and HMSA. Both said I didn't have to do anything. MAMA was covered. Can you imagine the horror we felt, thinking her needed medications were not covered?
Who is to blame? The main thing is MAMA will recieve the Medical Drug Coverage she needs. What about the many who are wondering and worrying where to turn?
