We now have our 2011/2012 PDP-Compare tool online to help you see how your current 2011 stand-alone Medicare Part D prescription drug plan coverage is changing on January 1, 2012.
No matter where you live, our PDP-Compare tool allows you to compare changes in all stand-alone Medicare Part D prescription drug plans (or PDPs) across the country.
What changes can you expect to find?
The 2011/2012 PDP-Compare shows monthly premium and Medicare Part D plan design changes, as well as changes in your co-payments or co-insurance rates for different drug tiers.
Our PDP-Compare tool will also show you the Medicare Part D plans that will be discontinued or added in 2012.

A few tips for more advanced users of our PDP-Compare tool:
- If you wish to narrow the search by the name of your prescription drug plan, just choose the name of your Medicare Part D plan family (such as “AARP” for all “AARP MedicareRx” plans) and then click the “Click to Compare Annual Plan Changes” button.
- If you want to search for Medicare Part D plans with specific features, such as only those plans qualifying for the $0 premium full Low-Income Subsidy, you can select “Yes, show only plans that qualify for $0 premium” for the “Full Low-Income Subsidy?” question in the search-form. Click here for an example of the 2011 $0 Premium LIS plans in Texas. You can then see which of those plans still qualify in 2012. Additional examples of Part D plan changes are provided in the next section below.
- If you want a little more help, our PDP-Compare tutorial will show you a few screen shots and provide tips on how to see the changes in your current Medicare Part D plan.
