Open enrollment in the Medicare Part D prescription drug plan for 2008 begins November 15 and runs through December 31. Those who miss the deadline will have to wait until the next enrollment period.
Medicare Part D, which began on January 1, 2006, was designed to give Medicare-eligible individuals more coverage options for prescription drugs.
Providers looking for more information about Part D can find resources at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service’s Medicare Learning Network drug coverage page.
