JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Medicare Part D enrollment is open through December 7 for those eligible.

These plans are purchased through private companies, but each plan has to be approved by the federal government. These plans can cover at least some costs of prescription drugs, but each plan has a set list of drugs they cover.

North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Jon Godfread says you should be checking your insurance options on an annual basis.

Because there are so many options for Medicare Part D enrollment, Godfread says his department is seeing some deceitful marketing practices from companies such as Medicare Advantage.

If you have questions or would like assistance, you can contact the North Dakota Insurance Department at 701-320-2440 or visit insurance.nd.gov.
