Are you being reassigned to another Medicare Part D plan in 2015?

Annual Medicare plan changes · published Oct 1, 2014

A number of 2014 Medicare prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans are being consolidated or merged into other 2015 Medicare plans.

If you are currently in one of the 2014 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 2015 Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage 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 2014 Medicare Part D plan reassignments or plan name changes:
