Senators urge Medicare to allow seniors a drug plan do-over Leading senators are urging Medicare to allow seniors concerned about their drug plan pick for next year to switch if they believe they received inaccurate informationLeading senators are urging Medicare to allow seniors concerned about their drug plan pick for next year to switch if they received inaccurate information due to changes the agency made this sign-up season. The request from 14 Democrats and one Independent comes as open enrollment for prescription drug coverage ends at midnight Saturday. The issue AP reported on stems from a significant change to the plan finder for 2020. Medicare’s previous plan finder automatically sorted plans by total cost, not just premiums. When out-of-pocket expenses such as copays are factored in, the plan with the lowest total annual cost is often not the first one shown by the plan finder.
