A clean, complete medication list helps your doctor prevent interactions, adjust doses, and ensure your plan choicecovers what you actually take.


What to include (print this)

  • Each medication (brand/generic), dose, how often, why you take it

  • Prescriber name & clinic

  • Allergies & past side effects

  • OTC meds, vitamins, supplements, and herbals

  • Preferred pharmacies


Tip: Bring pill bottles to your Annual Wellness Visit. Medicare covers one yearly “Wellness” visit if you’ve had Part B for 12+ months; it isn’t a physical exam.

Offer a 1‑page printable Medication List Template (PDF) on your site and link it here.


Why this matters during Open Enrollment

  • We check if your meds need prior auth or have tier changes next year

  • We estimate annual costs with the $2,000 Part D cap in mind and discuss MPPP if cash flow is tight
