National Council on Aging Service to Help Senior Adults Find the Prescription Savings Programs They Need
Dear Colleagues in Older Adult Ministry
The following message was sent by Rev. Dr. Richard H. Gentzler, Jr., D.Min., CSA Director, Center on Aging & Older Adult Ministries, General Board of Discipleship, United Methodist Church on behalf of the National Council on Aging:
As some of you already know, October 1 is the official start of marketing to Medicare beneficiaries which plan to choose under the government's new prescription drug benefit (Medicare, Part D), which takes effect January 1, 2006. Open enrollment begins November 15 and will continue until May 2006.
BenefitsCheckUpRxTM, is a powerful, easy-to-use online tool that's available at www.BenefitsCheckUpRx.org. It can help seniors learn about and enroll in programs that dramatically reduce the cost of prescription drugs, including the new Medicare prescription drug coverage. It can also help them find and enroll in other important government and private company programs.
Provided by The National Council on the Aging and developed with the support of the U.S. Administration on Aging and the Department of Health and Human Services, the service has already helped thousands of seniors find the prescription savings programs they need. And now, with a click of your mouse, you can help add to the list of seniors who no longer have to struggle to afford their medicines. NCOA thanks you in advance for your interest and your support.
