If you're turning 65 or qualify for Medicare under special circumstances, you don't have to wait for Medicare's annual enrollment period, from Nov. 15 through Dec. 31.
Prescription Blue PDPSM is a stand-alone prescription drug plan with a Medicare contract.
Prescription Blue PDPSM is available to all Medicare beneficiaries who are Michigan residents entitled to receive services under Medicare Part A and/or enrolled in Part B. Premiums vary by county. You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium.
Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in a Medicare Advantage PFFS plan that includes Medicare prescription drugs or any Medicare Advantage coordinated care (HMO or PPO) plan will be automatically disenrolled from the HMO, PPO or Medicare Advantage PFFS plan if they enroll in a prescription drug plan; and Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in a private fee-for-service plan (PFFS) that does not include Medicare prescription drug coverage, a Medicare Advantage Medicare Savings Account (MSA) plan or an 1876 Cost plan may enroll in a prescription drug plan and will not be automatically disenrolled from the PFFS, MSA or 1876 Cost plan.
In Michigan, 86 percent of pharmacies are network pharmacies; nationwide, more than 80 percent of pharmacies are in the network, including the majority of chain pharmacies, as well as long-term care and home infusion pharmacies and Indian/Tribal/Urban (Indian Health Service) pharmacies (Source: 2010 Pharmacy Directory). In general, benefits are only available at contracted network pharmacies. Plan drugs may be covered in special circumstances, for instance, illness while traveling outside of the plan's service area where there is no network pharmacy. You may have to pay more than your normal cost sharing amount if you get your drugs at an out-of-network pharmacy. In addition, you will likely have to pay the pharmacy's full charge for the drug and submit documentation to receive reimbursement from Prescription Blue PDPSM. For additional information on network pharmacies, please call Customer Service at 1-877-469-2583, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. TTY users should call 1-800-481-8704.

If you decide to have your Prescription Blue PDPSM premium withheld from your Social Security check or deducted from your checking or savings account, it may take up to three months for the automatic deduction to begin. If your premium amount is currently withheld from your Social Security check or deducted from your checking or savings account and you wish to receive a monthly bill instead, the change may also take up to three months to become effective. During this time, you will be responsible for paying your premium.
