Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage

If you're like millions of others, the new Medicare Part D prescription drug program is a mind-boggling one. Making a choice about your health care coverage has never been easy, but with the new Medicare prescription drug benefit going into effect, the complexity has grown ten-fold.

Are you prepared to deal with the many complex options? Do you even know what the options are and what they mean? While we can't answer all your questions and offer advice on each person's individual scenario, we do want to help make it a little simpler.

With that in mind, we created the Medicare Prescription Drug Primer.
It addresses areas such as:

  • What are stand-alone prescription drug plans (or PDP)?
  • What is a Medicare Advantage prescription drug plan (or MA-PDP)?
  • How will Medicare Part D affect my other coverage?
  • What if I have an employer or union retirement coverage?
  • How do I find out if my state has a State Pharmacy Assistance Program?
