If you are currently in one of the 2015 Medicare plans being merged, your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) letter will tell you about how you are being reassigned or “crosswalked” to another 2016 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 2015 Medicare Part D plan reassignments:
