By visiting www.healthdecisions.org/guide, beneficiaries can work through an interactive prescription drug plan guide to determine which type of drug plan best meets their individual needs.
America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS), and the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) launched this interactive online guide as part of an ongoing national campaign to educate seniors about their prescription drug plan choices.
The guide provides information to help seniors and their loved ones evaluate their current prescription drug plan and make decisions about future coverage. The interactive format helps seniors examine their specific priorities and preferences, assess their current needs, and navigate through the different plan options to choose the right type of coverage.
By offering this guide online, we can ensure that more seniors have access to the tools and resources they need to make informed decisions about their healthcare coverage, said Karen Ignagni, president and CEO of AHIP. The online guide offers beneficiaries a quick and easy way to get accurate information about the Medicare prescription drug benefit and the different types of plans available.
The website includes features to aid decision-making such as a three-step tutorial designed to assist beneficiaries with the enrollment process; worksheets that can be completed online and printed at home; savings tips, an online glossary, and helpful links to other online resources and directions for beneficiaries to Medicare.gov to identify the best plan in their area.
