Get your list ready before you compare plans
Comparing plans goes badly when you’re hunting for a pill bottle halfway through. Four short steps, then one sheet with your doctors, prescriptions and pharmacy on it.

Where you live

Medicare.gov will ask for this first. I don’t look anything up with it.
Plans are offered by county. Pick the county you live in, not where your doctor is.
