Powell said 8220;It could be because it8217;s too complicated for them to do or they don8217;t realize they are eligible That8217;s why we offer help when we do our outreach programs8221;Now is not only the time for newly eligible folks to sign up for the program it8217;s also for those already in the program to review their current coverage said Daniel Curry of Kentucky Legal AidCurry said each of the plans has a drug formulary and not every plan pays for all drugs8220;So a plan that is best for me may not be what8217;s best for wife or my neighbor if we are not taking identical medications8221; Curry said 8220;Which plan is best depends on what prescriptions you actually take8221;Powell said that8217;s why it8217;s important to review current coverage during the open enrollment period8220;The drugs you are taking may have changed or the premiums may change8221; she said 8220;So it8217;s important to review your options8221;Kentucky Legal Aid offers individual counseling sessions with residents at its outreach sessions8220;We look at how much you can afford in premiums or if you qualify for a premium free plan8221; Powell said 8220;And we take a look at what drugs you use8221;Powell said the lowest monthly premium available is 036;1680 The lowest premium for a program that provides coverage between the gap in the deductible is 036;5180 a monthBecause of the potential for human error in writing prescriptions down Curry recommends that residents bring all their prescription bottles with them to a session or have them by their side if they are doing the comparison themselves8220;That way we know the dosage how often you take it and the exact spelling of the drug8221;
