Beneficiaries, their caregivers, and family members can begin to review 2008 Medicare prescription drug plan and health plan information online through the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder at http://www.medicare.gov/.
The enhanced plan finder options offer more information and greater clarity on available drug plans, including out-of-pocket costs, pharmacy networks, and important Medicare news and updates. Navigation improvements also make the plan finder tools more user-friendly, so beneficiaries will find it easier to locate information about available drug plans. Open enrollment began on November 15th. For more information or assistance, call the Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services Aging Information Center at 617-628-2601 ext. 3151.
