I will be switching to a different Medicare drug plan. What do I need to do to stop the automatic premium deduction from my current Medicare drug plan?

Date Added : 2007-09-19

You don't need to do anything. Your enrollment in a new plan will automatically stop the premium deduction from your current drug plan. It generally takes one to two months before the premium is no longer being withheld.
