Part D Plan Options in 2008
Today CMS released state level information about Part D plan options in 2008.
On October 11, detailed 2008 plan information will be available through the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder and Medicare Options Compare tools so you can begin working with partners and beneficiaries to compare plan choices. In addition we want to highlight a search feature of these tools that will enable you to generate printer-friendly lists of up-to-date plan options by state and county. Instructions of how to use this tool are attached. This search tool is available now to compare available 2007 plan options, and starting October 11, will compare 2008 options. Of note, when printing this list, you can chose to automatically include toll-free customer service numbers for each plan.
We have also posted a reference list of the 2008 plan options on the web containing a preview of the plan names and limited cost information while we continue to load the data into the plan finder tools. The data list and instructions for use can be found at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/PrescriptionDrugCovGenIn/ on the web . Additional helpful information about open enrollment is available at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/center/openenrollment.asp on the web.
