  1. I know that if I get a Medi Gap plan, I can buy Part D Rx and that if I get a Medicare Advantage with Part D MA-PD I can’t get extra coverage to cover Rx, what are the other restrictions on what plans go with Part D and which ones don’t?

    • Yeah, it’s a confusing question as so much of the questions and plans do not apply to California, but yet when we do our AHIP annual certification, they ask a ton of questions on it. IMHO especially annoying is the AHIP material doesn’t give citations and isn’t “official” plus it’s copyrighted… and password protected. I wish they training just used Official brochures that we could use with the public.
