Medicare Drug Benefit Sees Surge in Enrollment
Overview
A new report from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reveals that Medicare's prescription drug benefit now supports 25 million Americans. The program is adding an impressive 250,000 new enrollees each week, highlighting its rapid growth. Just last month, the number of beneficiaries increased by 2.6 million.
Key Insights
Senator Bob Dole, a former presidential candidate, is actively promoting this benefit to seniors nationwide. "It's crucial for seniors and those with disabilities to explore their options with Medicare's new drug benefit," Dole stated. He emphasized that eligible individuals can join a Medicare-approved plan to potentially save significantly on their medications.
Enrollment Tips
HHS advises signing up for a Medicare drug plan at the beginning of the month. This ensures prescriptions are filled promptly and maximizes the benefit from day one. It's vital to enroll by May 15, 2006, the deadline for the open enrollment period this year.
Benefits and Savings
Seniors enrolled in the new prescription drug coverage are enjoying reduced medication costs. To enhance savings, they should compare Medicare's new options with their existing coverage to determine the best fit. Consulting with family members can also help clarify the new benefits.
Support and Resources
Various advocacy groups, representing over 8 million Americans, back Dole's efforts. For more information, those enrolled or eligible can visit Dole’s website at www.bobdoleonmedicare.com, which offers updates for seniors and their families.
