The CURxED 2009 Pocket Guide to Medicare Part D
Medicare Part D represents one of the most complex and challenging government benefit programs for the seniors of our communities. Yet at the same time, the assistance that can be realized is great.
Many resources are available to help sort through the tangled web of information regarding this program. To understand the details, however, it is sometimes necessary to utilize many different resources located in many different places. The CURxED Pocket Guide was developed to bring together in one place all of the bits of information needed to grasp a better understanding of the technical components of Medicare prescription drug insurance.
We invite you to print single copies of this guide for personal reference and to have multiple copies printed for distribution. Important sections of the Pocket Guide include:
Part D Basics
