Navigation

There are several ways to move around this tool:

  1. Grey Buttons: In general, to advance to the next step in the tool, you’ll use the grey buttons. Depending on where you are in the tool, the buttons will say different things, like “Continue,” “Compare,” “Enter Drugs,” etc. Click on the button, and you will go to the next step.

    Example showing the 'Continue' button of the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder tool.

  2. Tabbed Menu Bar: Sometimes, in the upper portion of the web page you’ll see different "tabs" with words on each tab, going horizontally across the page. If you see a tab, you can click on it to get more information on a particular topic. The tab that is white indicates the page you are on, while the other tabs are "faded" grey in the background. An example of a tabbed menu bar appears below. This example tells you that you are at the "How Plans Work" tab.

Click on the link, and it will take you back a page. You can also use the back button on your browser to get back to the previous page.
