MEDICARE
PART D FOR ‘DUAL ELIGIBLES’
On
January 1, 2006, Medicare offered its 43 million enrollees a new drug
prescription benefit — Medicare Part D.
This
benefit was voluntary for most Medicare beneficiaries. However, Part D
replaced Medicaid for people who qualified for both Medicare and Medicaid,
a group known as ‘dual eligibles’. These beneficiaries were
automatically switched to drug coverage under Part D when the benefit
was implemented.
This
website is geared towards the dual eligible population. The following
information can be found on this site (please check back for additional
information and resources):
