Medicare Part D Cost Calculator
The Challenge
Seniors transitioning to Medicare face a critical window where the decision to enroll in the Part D pharmacy plan can have permanent financial consequences.
They must calculate prescription costs across hundreds of plans, understand late enrollment penalties that compound monthly, and determine coverage needs—all while navigating fragmented information across multiple government and insurance websites.
