Kerr Drug Launches Medicare D
Information Program
by Ashlie Fowler
Part of the “Kerr Cares” program, new medicare D program will assist
seniors with upcoming medicare changes.
Kerr Drug, the pharmacy chain pioneering "community pharmacy care" in their
104 retail locations across the Carolinas, is launching their Medicare D
Information Program, part of the Kerr Cares initiative. The Medicare D Program
will offer all seniors a trusted source for information and answers about the
upcoming changes to Medicare’s prescription drug coverage.
Seniors everywhere are aware of the date January 1, 2006 – the date when
prescription drug coverage will be available to everyone with Medicare - however
many don’t yet understand what they need to do to get this coverage.
Various organizations, some legitimate - others not - are bombarding seniors
with various messages and directions on how to obtain this additional coverage.
So many messages have been sent out that North Carolina Insurance Commissioner
Jim Long issued a press release warning senior citizens to be aware of the
aggressive marketing of Medicare Advantage plans by insurance companies, and for
seniors to become familiar with what is legal and what resources they can turn
to for advice.
Raleigh-based Kerr Drug wants to inform seniors across the state that they are a
trusted source of information and expertise when it comes to the changes to
Medicare coverage. Kerr’s professional pharmacists are available to answer
questions and help seniors understand what additional coverage they may qualify
for and how it will impact their prescription drug coverage.
Kerr stores will be offering the following additional support to seniors:
- All Kerr stores now have information stations set up for seniors, where they
can find informational brochures, forms, phone numbers and websites to where
they can get additional information on Medicare.
- Kerr will be holding community meetings for seniors where they can speak with
a representative from the Social Security Administration or the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services, along with their Kerr pharmacists. A schedule of
meetings will be available at each Kerr Drug location.
As the enrollment date nears, seniors should start to research their options to
find out what they need to do to obtain this additional coverage, and remember
that Kerr Drug community pharmacies are trusted sources for information. To find
your closest Kerr Drug, please visit www.kerrdrug.com.
