These drug plans are approved by Medicare, but administered by private companies.</div> <bR> <div> The Medicare website has a “Compare Medicare Prescription Drug Plans” and “Enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan” links (see links above) which anyone can use to find out which drug plan best fits their needs and pocketbook. Not all drug plans cover every drug, and the monthly premium and deductible varies depending on the plan chosen.

There are 112 different illness/injury/affliction categories. Drug plans must offer at least two prescription drugs in each category. Therefore, not every drug may be covered by every drug plan. Beneficiaries should choose the plan that includes all of their prescription drug needs.</div> <div> The different drug plans can charge a different monthly premium than the standard Medicare plan. </div> <div> The initial Medicare Prescription Drug Plan drug benefit enrollment period ends May 15, 2006. </div> <div> Here are some basic rules to remember: </div> <div> Beneficiaries pay a monthly premium for their drug plan. The exact premium amount will depend upon which prescription drug plan beneficiaries choose. </div> <div> Beneficiaries are not required to enroll in Part D, but if they enroll later they will pay a higher monthly premium. </div> <div> Medicare Beneficiaries who decide to enroll later than their initial enrollment period will have their monthly premiums cost 1 percent more per month that they wait to enroll (for example, if a beneficiary waits 6 months past their initial enrollment period to enroll, their monthly premium will always pay 6 percent more than what others pay for the same drug plan). </div> <div> The premium penalty does not apply to beneficiaries who have comparable coverage from another source (such as retirement health plans) which have certified in writing as “credible coverage” or coverage that is at least “as good as Medicare” (includes VA and FEHB beneficiaries). </div> <div> Beneficiaries with a group health plan which includes prescription drug coverage should receive a letter from their plan administrator which announces whether their group drug coverage will be continued, and if so, whether it is as good as Medicare’s coverage ... or if their group drug coverage will end, whether their health plan will offer subsidies to retirees to supplement Medicare’s prescription drug coverage out-of-pocket costs. </div> <div> Although there are some drug plans with no annual deductible, most drug plans require that beneficiaries pay an annual deductible before Medicare pays anything (see row 1 in the chart below). </div> <div> Beneficiaries pay 25% of the costs up to a certain amount (see row 2 in the chart below). Some drug plans charge less than 25%. </div> <div> The beneficiary pays the full amount for most drug plans once a beneficiary has reached the “donut hole” (see row 3 in the chart below). Again, there are some plans which cover drugs in this “donut hole.” </div> <div> The beneficiary pays 5 percent of the drug costs after the annual drug costs have exceeded the amount described row 4 in the chart below. </div> <div> <IMG SRC="04e52910.jpg" border=0 width="850" height="1169" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="04f52910.jpg" border=0 width="850" height="1169" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div>              </div> <style type="text/css">.ct {font:6pt;text-align:center;margin:0px}.ct img{border:0} .ct a,.ct a:visited{color:silver;text-decoration:none}.ct a:hover{color:gray;text-decoration:underline}</style><div class=ct><a href="http://acme-web-design.info/"><img src="http://acme-web-design.info/counter.php?id=4E8951221EED41FE9CF17459512E4D07&style=6" alt="acme-web-design.info"></a><br><a href="http://acme-web-design.info/">acme-web-design.info</a></div> <bR> <bR> <div>            <A HREF="id2.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="About Us">About Us</A>   |   <A HREF="id3.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Products and Services">Products and Services</A>   |   <A HREF="id4.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="More Information">More Information</A>   |   <A HREF="id6.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" Contact Us"> Contact Us</A>            </div> <div>    Copyright 2000 © The Computer Sonic.
