Big Medicare Rx Benefit Changes on the Horizon

January 1, 2006, will mark one of the biggest changes in the history of Medicare since its inception in 1965. Medicare will launch a new Medicare prescription drug coverage plan, “Part D,” which will change the way many Medicare beneficiaries access HIV medications. “All Medicare beneficiaries—no matter how they get their health care today or whether they have existing drug coverage—will be eligible for drug coverage under a Medicare prescription drug plan,” reports Mark McClellan, MD, PhD, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The plan will cover both brand name and generic drugs. To learn more about Medicare Part D, go to http://www.medicare.gov.
