Wife is on Medicare, has a Plan D and a Plan F/G (can't remember which).

On Medicare-dot-gov, it clearly says if we're happy with the Plan D, we don't need to do anything to keep it. Since we're happy, I'll just let it auto-renew (rollover?).

It also shows our BCBS supplemental policy, but doesn't give any info about renewing. Will it auto-renew?

Thanks.

Yes. Unless you enroll in for a different medigap policy, your plan will remain as is. You do not need to do anything. It is wise to look at the Plan D providers every year. The drugs covered, tier, and costs can change, sometimes dramatically.

Thanks. I did look at the Plan D providers, and Humana, our current "D", is still competitive with her formulary.

I was just worried the Plan F wouldn't auto-renew. And since they're all the same price, I don't need to shop.

I'm grandfathered into a Plan F.

Your Plan F cannot be cancelled except for non-payment or as a result of your own action or request.
