New
Medicare Cost Assessment Gives Seniors a Quick and Easy Way to Decide
if Plan D is Right for Them.
In
the midst of Medicare confusion, Canadian pharmacy service clears
the mud with free online cost assessment from DoctorSolve.
October
13, 2005 (PRWEB) October 13, 2005 -- Millions of elderly and disabled
people face a bewildering range of options around Medicare Plan
D, which starts on January 1, 2006. Besides having to decide on
the most suitable drug plan, one must attempt to understand how
the drug cost coverage of Plan D itself works: who pays for what,
when and how much?
To
help their patients understand Medicare Plan D a little better,
DoctorSolve (www.doctorsolve.com) now offers a free online Medicare
Cost Assessment at (DoctorSolve).
In less than a minute, patients can answer a few simple questions,
and determine if Medicare Plan D will actually save them money.
“Before
registering for Medicare Plan D, it's important to assess one's
personal situation,” says Dr. Paul Zickler, of DoctorSolve, a Canadian
online pharmacy service. “We want our patients to have a clear understanding
of whether or not Plan D would be financially beneficial for them
or if it makes more sense to continue to purchase medications through
licensed international pharmacies.”
“The
beauty of the Medicare Cost Assessment is that it gives our patients
a chance to look at Plan D from their own personal perspective.
They know their monthly income, and what they spend on medications
annually. All they have to do is plug in a few numbers, and the
assessment does the rest. We don't ask for any identifying information,
such as a name or address, and nothing is shared with government
agencies, other persons or companies.”
In
actual fact, considering that patients can save between 40 and 50
percent with Canadian pharmacies, the only ones who would really
benefit from Medicare Plan D are those who spend an extremely high
amount on their medications. A recent article from PharmacyChecker.com
stated “that drug costs would have to exceed $8,000 for an individual
to save more with the standard Medicare drug plan.” According to
Tod Cooperman, M.D., President of PharmacyChecker.com, “a senior
can easily exceed the savings of the standard Medicare drug plan
by buying from Canadian or other licensed international pharmacies.”
“It
is our hope that our patients will look before they leap into a
program that they may well regret for months down the road,” states
Zickler. “At least with our service, they know exactly what they're
getting-safe, affordable meds with no premiums, no deductions, no
hassles with HMOs, and no regrets!”
