If you are currently in one of the 2013 Medicare plans being merged, your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) letter will tell you about how you are being reassigned or “cross-walked” to another 2014 Medicare Part D plan. If you have not yet received or cannot find your ANOC, you can telephone your Medicare plan and ask that another ANOC letter be sent.
Here are a few examples of stand-alone Medicare Part D plan reassignments or plan name changes:
