10 Reasons Why You May Be Paying Full Price For Your Medications - 1. Member ID Card Problems
Your Medicare plan coverage · published Feb 27, 2009
If you are being charged full price for your medications when you use your Medicare Part D plan, there are a number of possible explanations.
(1) Member ID Card Problems - If you are new to a Medicare Part D plan, your Member ID card may not yet be active. Some Part D plans ask that the pharmacists call the Pharmacy Help desk if the Member ID card is not working. If your Medicare Part D Plan ID Card is not working it could also mean that your Part D coverage has been terminated for failure to pay your monthly premiums – but such problems usually do not arise until June or July after the Part D plan has made several attempts to reach you regarding the payment problems.
