Spread the Word: PBS Program on Part D to Air this Month
[Posted 04/13/06]

This month, PBS stations in California will be airing a 30-minute program about the Medicare prescription drug benefit, “Medicare Forum: Making Sense of Part D.” As the May 15 enrollment deadline approaches, millions of patients remain confused about the Medicare prescription drug benefit.

This program will help beneficiaries understand how Part D coverage works and how to select the best plan for their particular needs. Under the law, eligible patients who do not sign up by the deadline will face a 1 percent per month premium penalty for the duration of the program.

To help physicians get the word out about this helpful and informative program, CMA has posted on its website a flyer you can photocopy and make available to your patients.
