In addition, we do research based on your answers to ensure each client is on the most appropriate drug plan for the coming year because plans change every year even if YOUR needs don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Humm,&#8221; Stan replied absent-mindedly. &#8220;I don&#8217;t remember. What does it matter anyway since we both only take a few generic medications? I&#8217;m sure we are fine for next year.&#8221;Jackie responded, &#8220;I remember when we met with\u00a0David, he said it was important to check our plan\u00a0<strong><em>every<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>year. So I&#8217;d feel better if we sent our lists and completed the reply. I&#8217;ll grab our medications to help.&#8221; Stan completed his response and then Jackie sent hers and awaited a recommendation in the days to follow.<\/p>\n<p>The couple was pleasantly surprised by the research response they received. &#8220;Holy Crap!&#8221; He exclaimed. &#8220;David&#8217;s research team just answered our email. We need to schedule an appointment ASAP as the premium for the Part D Prescription Drug plan we are on is going to increase from $14 a month to $56a month.&#8221; &#8220;HOW MUCH!?!?&#8221; Jackie could not believe her ears.<\/p>\n<p>They made phone appointments to review their options for 2022 Part D drug plan changes and were again surprised to learn that just by shopping plans, they were going to save close to $1,000 next year.<\/p>\n<p>HURRY!!!
