Starting January 1, 2006, new Medicare prescription drug coverage became available to everyone with Medicare. Everyone with Medicare can get this coverage that may help lower prescription drug costs and help protect against higher costs in the future. If you have limited income and resources, you may be able to get help with drug plan costs. There are several Medicare prescription drug plans to choose from.

Information about Medicare prescription drug plan and specific drug plan choices that are available in each area of the country can be found in the Medicare & You Handbook 2006, which was mailed to all Medicare beneficiaries in mid-October. VISTA is committed to providing timely and useful information about the Medicare prescription drug plan to members. Additional information is available by visiting: http://www.vistahealthplan.com
