Medicare offers drug plan sign-up online
Pearl Whiting's lips moved slightly as she read the words on the computer screen. "Everyone with Medicare needs to make a decision about prescription drug coverage," she read, mostly to herself but just loud enough to be heard. "Even if you don't use a lot of prescription drugs now, you should still consider joining a plan."
Whiting, 67, was using a new Internet-based tool on the federal government's Medicare Web site to search for information on the federal prescription drug benefit. The Prescription Drug Plan Finder lists the 18 insurers' plans in Delaware and is designed to help senior citizens find out how much they will pay in the plans and if they qualify for extra help.
Nationwide, between 42 million and 43 million beneficiaries may choose from these plans, which offer differing co-pays, deductibles, drug prices, premiums and lists of covered drugs. But not everyone is satisfied. Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., recently sent a letter to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services saying the tool is incomplete and inadequate.
