Not sure how that works under age 65, but the folks at your senior center and Council on Aging can help you, get you set up, and even set it up so the premium, if any, comes out of your monthly benefit.

They will put in each drug, because not all plans cover all drugs, and drugs are different prices / copays, etc. between the plans. A real cluster fuck, IMO.

Good luck!
