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.
