I just enrolled in Medicare D. On the first page of the enrollment
procedure in which you give your personal information, there's the standard thingie that the information is
collected only for purposes of this program, and it will be confidential.

I started laughing and laughing.

:rofl:

Then on the next pages I wanted to type in "You already know that information, or ask the NSA"

2. "Confidential?"
Don't worry, just trust them.

3. Oh yes, I do, I do. That is why I have waited till the day
before the deadline to enroll.

I trust them implicitly.

5. Can you enroll online?
I have to sign up my mom and have been dreading it and procrastinating. Is there an online form? How did you select your provider?

Thanks in advance!

6. It probably won't help your mother, but ...
... on Thursday, I signed up online with the cheapest Humana program ($7.32).

I take no prescription drugs and did this reluctantly -- only to avoid the punitive penalty.

The odd thing was that -- instead of an online page where I could pay (Visa, MC etc) -- all I got was a confirmation number.

You and your mother are a little late in the game. Go to medicare.gov and look for the page that has listings of the Medicare D plans in your state. Make a list of your mother's meds and go through the plans that have those meds and choose one that she can afford.

It's not that hard.

7. That helps a lot!
And we're not late... I have until tomorrow! :) I already have her list of drugs from the nursing home. Thanks for your help!
