Medicare Part D Update
TUESDAY, Nov. 22 (HealthDay News) -- Health officials and health activists are, literally, rolling out a new strategy to help clear up the confusion surrounding the new U.S. Medicare drug plan.
A fleet of 37 vans with trained staff and technology will wheel around 27 states and the District of Columbia until May 15, 2006, the official end of enrollment for the program, known as the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit, or Part D. With the roll-out, Firman added, "we are going to make sure every one of those 42 million Medicare beneficiaries by the spring are no longer confused. They'll know what to do."
