What You Need to Know About Part D


The Medicare Modernization Act was passed on December 8, 2003. It established a voluntary drug benefit for Medicare beneficiaries and created a new Medicare Part D. Starting January 1, 2006 Medicare beneficiaries will have the option to purchase a full prescription drug benefit. This program is completely voluntary.

Community pharmacists are the most accessible health care provider and are often the first and only source of Medicare information for seniors and disabled persons. For more information be sure to visit our Medicare Resource Center.
