Helpful Hints

Since the current estimated wait time for a call to Social Security is 35 minutes, it may be advisable to apply on-line for initial Medicare coverage.  Their site is SSA.gov.

Beginning in 2024, people with Medicare Part D coverage who have drug costs high enough to reach catastrophic coverage won’t have to pay co-pays for their drug purchases once they reach this level.
