Seniors Save Big with Medicare’s Part D Prescription Drug Program

As Medicare’s Part D Prescription Drug program enters its third year, new data indicates millions of seniors are saving big money with Medicare’s new private insurance benefit. According to the findings of a 2006 survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation, the percentage of seniors without drug coverage in 2005 dropped significantly in 2006. Nearly 61% of seniors who had lacked coverage in 2005 had enrolled in a Part D drug plan in 2006. And the savings are significant. A recent study conducted by PhRMA reported that seniors without coverage in 2005 enjoyed better access to medications and a whopping 44.5% decrease in out of pocket costs once they signed on with a Medicare Part D Plan. So if you’re not signed up, it’s time to take a look.


Medicare Part D is a huge benefit to millions of seniors; however, it’s not for everyone. If you are presently covered by another drug plan, carefully weigh the trade-offs when you consider switching to a Part D plan. In particular, employer-sponsored plans or VA plans may provide superior coverage. With employer-sponsored plans, and especially VA coverage, you typically don’t have to worry about the “doughnut hole” of Part D drug plans.


If you’re already in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, you need to know that all plans are not alike! When selecting a plan, take the time to find one that covers your individual drugs. Tools such as Experion’s PlanPrescriber (http://www.planprescriber.com) can assist you (or your loved ones or caretaker) in making a Part D drug plan selection. 90% of seniors in a Medicare Part D plan using the PlanPrescriber tool in 2006 found they were in the wrong plan, and the average savings gained from switching plans was over $1,100 annually! The tool easily guides you in an unbiased fashion to the best drug plan offered for your individual needs - whether you wish to minimize costs or minimize coverage gaps. This self-serve online tool also provides all of the necessary information and education to make you feel confident in your choice. When you’re ready you can apply online or call one of the 800 numbers displayed on the site for help from one of PlanPrescriber’s helpful agents.
