Reminder: The prescription drug benefit act was effective on January 1, 2006. Dual-eligibles--meaning Medicare beneficiaries who are also enrolled in Medicaid--will now shift primarily to Medicare Part D and qualify for Medicare prescription drug coverage with low or no premiums. Co-payments under this arrangement will cost the beneficiary only a few dollars. Get full information here and here.
