Online guide walks users through Part D benefit

Online guide walks users through Part D benefit

Medicare Access for Patients-Rx, a nonprofit group of patient and health organizations, is offering a comprehensive guide to Medicare Part D on its Web site, maprx.com, it reports. The guide, RxCompare, is available for download in PDF form and gives consumers a step-by-step guide to understanding Part D, choosing a plan, and enrolling in the benefit. The guide has easy-to-follow instructions for filling out worksheets and comparison charts, and includes guidance for decision-making and a glossary of terms. According to Medicare Access for Patients-Rx, the tool will be especially helpful for dual-eligibles because it will help them decide whether they should stay with the plan in which they were auto-enrolled or switch to one that has better coverage. You can see the tool on the group's Web site.
