I probably should know this, but my body and brain needs to rest . . .

What is the easiest way to see the preferred pharmacy for each PDP carrier?

On S & S, i put different pharmacies, then when I view a plan, it shows if they're preferred , standard or out of network.

I use MC.gov, run all pharms and plans, and make a spreadsheet of in, out and pref pharms for easy reference during aep

Do it once, then save for easy reference.

I do it around 10/1 each year.

For NC and OH, a simple list of the PDPs, then I list the to 10 pharmacies, then in each part of the chart I put ST, PR, or X.

For actually filling out the chart, anything works (Medicare dot gov or S&S - pick a few pharmacies, click thru the plans, fill the chart.... Change the pharmacies rinse & repeat)

There are local pharmacies that come up when one does a search for a particular zip.

What is your working definition of "all pharms" for your process?

 

[Yagents]

I should have said All major pharms. I ignore the local pharms as most clients don't use them. Agents know this
