What Happens After You Opt In to the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan?
Once you submit your opt-in form, your Part D plan will reach out to you. Most Part D plans will call you to let you know that you’ve been successfully opted in. If you’ve configured your preferences with your plan so that they can contact you electronically, they may also confirm your opt in via email. All plans will also send you a letter to confirm your opt in.

Didn’t Hear From Your Plan? Next Steps
The best way to troubleshoot your opt in is to call your plan. They will be able to give you a status update about your opt in form, ask any questions they may have about your opt in before you can fully opt in, and opt you in over the phone.
You can find your plan’s phone number on the back of your Medicare Part D card. Don’t have your card handy? Use our Part D Phone Directory below to find your plan’s phone number and give them a call.
