This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " The Medicare prescription drug program, known as Medicare Part D, provides a voluntary outpatient prescription drug benefit for Medicare beneficiaries. Beneficiaries may choose Part D plans from among multiple plans offered by private companies-plan sponsors-that contract with CMS. Plans may differ in their premiums and cost-sharing arrangements, the drugs they cover, and the pharmacies they contract with to fill prescriptions. CMS developed the Medicare Plan Finder interactive website in 2005 as a tool to help beneficiaries compare Part D plans and identify plans that meet their needs. For Plan Finder to serve its intended purpose, beneficiaries and their advisers need to be able to obtain accurate drug cost information, understand plan options, and navigate the website effectively. GAO was asked to review CMS's efforts to ensure that beneficiaries can use Plan Finder effectively. This report examines (1) how CMS oversees the accuracy of drug pricing information in Plan Finder; and (2) how CMS assesses the usability of Plan Finder and any steps CMS has taken to improve it. To conduct this work, GAO reviewed documentation detailing CMS's processes for overseeing Plan Finder pricing accuracy and obtained data on agency compliance actions. GAO also interviewed CMS officials and organizations that help Medicare beneficiaries navigate Plan Finder"

Book excerpt: A coauthor of the New York Times bestselling guide to Social Security Get What’s Yours authors an essential companion to explain Medicare, the nation’s other major benefit for older Americans. Learn how to maximize your health coverage and save money. Social Security provides the bulk of most retirees’ income and Medicare guarantees them affordable health insurance. But few people know what Medicare covers and what it doesn’t, what it costs, and when to sign up. Nor do they understand which parts of Medicare are provided by the government and how these work with private insurance plans—Medicare Advantage, drug insurance, and Medicare supplement insurance. Do you understand Medicare’s parts A, B, C, D? Which Part D drug plan is right and how do you decide? Which is better, Medigap or Medicare Advantage? What do you do if Medicare denies payment for a procedure that your doctor says you need? How do you navigate the appeals process for denied claims? If you’re still working or have a retiree health plan, how do those benefits work with Medicare? Do you know about the annual enrollment period for Medicare, or about lifetime penalties for late enrollment, or any number of other key Medicare rules? Health costs are the biggest unknown expense for older Americans, who are turning sixty-five at the rate of 10,000 a day. Understanding and navigating Medicare is the best way to save health care dollars and use them wisely. In Get What’s Yours for Medicare, retirement expert Philip Moeller explains how to understand all these important choices and make the right decisions for your health and wealth now—and for the future.
