LOS ANGELES, Nov 05, 2008 Just in time for the Medicare enrollment
season, DestinationRx, the free independent online resource that helps
millions of consumers choose and use the health plan and medications
that are best for them and their families, announces an easy-to-use
Medicare Part D plan comparison tool available at www.destinationrx.com
or plancompare.destinationrx.com. 

 

DestinationRx's Part D Plan Compare tool is designed to help seniors and
the many adult children or caregivers who help guide the enrollment
decision. They can: 

-- Save money by choosing a plan that meets their current needs 

-- Get detailed plan information to educate themselves about Part D
options 

-- Determine which plans cover their drugs at the lowest price 

-- Find ways to avoid the coverage gap or "donut hole" 

-- Compare plans side-by-side to better understand the benefits and
costs 

-- Apply online to a plan 

 

Medicare Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage) is offered by
government-approved private insurance companies, and helps cover
prescription drugs. This coverage is available as a stand-alone
prescription drug plan (PDP) or is included in some Medicare Advantage
plans (MAPD), which combine prescription drug benefits with other types
of health care coverage. Costs vary by plan and can be estimated using
DestinationRx Part D Plan Compare, a leading resource that does the math
to estimate annual out of pocket costs for PDP and MAPD plans based on a
senior's medications and health condition versus only comparing premium
prices. 

"The average monthly premium for stand-alone Medicare prescription drug
coverage will increase 24% next year to $37 per month or $444 per year.
As a result, beneficiaries may want to consider MAPD plans or Medicare
Advantage Plans that include drug coverage without a separate premium,"
said Cho. 

The company maintains full compliance with all government privacy
mandates, including HIPAA, to maximize the security and safety of
consumer's medical and prescription information.
