MEDICARE DRUG PLAN (PART D)
As of January 1, 2006, Medicare beneficiaries will have the opportunity to (potentially) save money on their prescription medications by enrolling in the new Medicare part D drug plan. We have compiled several links below to provide more information. Please understand as much as you can before signing up. It may be less expensive not to get your medication through Medicare.
