Medicare Part D Premiums in Ohio
Q: I live in OHIO and would like to know what I would have to pay for Part D coverage.
A: We did a search on Medicare Part D coverage in Ohio and we show there are over 60 different plans available to you. The monthly premium depends on the level of coverage and which insurance company you select. The monthly premiums range from $16 a month to nearly $100. To view these plan options, go to this page of the Medicare.gov website http://www.medicare.gov/medicarereform/local-plans-2007.asp
Once there, click on the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder link in the 2nd paragraph. Then, on the right hand side of that new page you will see a section that says “Learn More About Plans in Your Area”. Choose your state from the pull-down menu and then hit the View Plans button. You will then be asked to select your county. Once you have done that, you will be taken to a page that shows you a summary of the results for both Prescription Drug Plans and Medicare Health Plans. Click on the one you want to view and the chart of plans will be displayed for you.
We can send you a copy of the chart as an email attachment. Do you know if you can view Adobe Acrobat files? If so, we can send you a copy of the chart. We will also need to know what county you live in.
Yes, I can view Adobe files. I live in Lake County. I really appreciate your help with this.
