Remember:  the CMS plan finder tool doesn’t work properly for many seniors–I tried it (hypothetically, of course) and the plan it suggested for me didn’t even cover my drugs!  I would have to pay separately for them, without reimbursement, and my out-of-pocket costs for those drugs wouldn’t count towards the Part D out-of-pocket requirement!!!   How can this be a finding tool???
