The website is Medicare.gov: the official U.S. government site for Medicare. Look on the left hand side of the home screen for a green rectangle that says"Find Plans", click that and go on from there. If you enter your drugs it will give you a very accurate estimate of the "all in" cost for your Rx for the year (premiums, deductibles, and copayments). You have until 12/7 to pick a plan for next year. Be aware that if you could have had Part D coverage and don't, there is a penalty (additional premium) for every month you could have had coverage and didn't.
