Medicare Prescription Plan Drug Coverage is the Latest Supplement to Medicare
Mrs. Betty Caroline was real excited. The advertisement that flashed
when she opened her TV set read -
This
was an advertisement on the new Medicare prescription drug
plan coverage. This new plan started on the first day of January,
2006 with first year enrollment period extending till November.
The Medicare prescription plan coverage is a vital addition
to Medigap that will help people save money.
Mrs.
Caroline now decided to gather more information about Medicare prescription
plans. Since this was a new plan, she wanted to be doubly sure about
its value.
Original
Medicare or Medigap with supplement policy does not provide for
prescription coverage. The government's plan provides approximately
half of the costs for an average Medicare recipient. This a grat
bargain for many Medicare recipients who are struggling to make
ends meet.
You can
add a Medicare prescription drug plan to traditional Medigap through
a single policy on prescription drug. Or you can get
prescription coverage through an Advantage plan in Medicare, such as HMO Plan or
PPO.
For any
client desiring to enroll in Medigap prescription plan coverage
it is recomended to know the basics of what the new Medicare law
was designed to do. Our representatives would be more than happy
to guide you through the process
Now Betty is happy after selecting the appropriate
Medigap prescription policy.
Many
satisfied retirees like Betty have had positive experiences with
the services we provided in helping choose the right Medicare prescription
plan. You pay only the charges that are listed in the initial
application .
