Know your Medicare annual enrollment options

Dear Toni,

I turned 65 in February and did not enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan. I’ve been told that I must wait until October for Medicare’s annual enrollment time. I need help now because I have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and my brand-name prescription is expensive. I thought I could enroll at any time of the year. What can I do?
