Date 09/21/2006
Subject Beneficiary Savings Remain High In Part D

In an update to a study of savings on a wide range of commonly used sets of drugs, CMS found that beneficiary savings continue to remain high.  This report presents updated findings from an ongoing analysis by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which was originally released in March 2006 and then updated in June 2006.  This updated analysis demonstrates that Medicare beneficiaries with common chronic conditions enrolled in Medicare prescription drug plans (PDPs) are seeing significant savings off of their prescription drug costs that are by and large extremely stable and " in several cases " larger than those initially presented in the March report. 

 A fact sheet and the report itself are available through the links below.
