MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG BENEFIT ANNUAL ENROLLMENT PERIOD IS HALFWAY OVER

Medicare Today reminds seniors that the Medicare Prescription Drug Part D annual enrollment period is halfway over - running from November 15 to December 31, 2008. The open enrollment period is an opportunity for seniors to review and change the prescription drug program under which they are currently enrolled or for those not enrolled in a Part D plan to enroll.

During these challenging economic times, seniors need to ensure their drug benefit plan meets their health care and pocketbook needs. The Medicare Part D prescription drug program is designed to provide greater access to prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries - regardless of income, health status, or prescription drug usage.
