Lewin contact: Lisa Chimento
The Medicare drug benefit, which went into effect in January 2006, has resulted in an increase in the number of Medicare beneficiaries with comprehensive prescription drug coverage; nine out of ten Medicare beneficiaries now have comprehensive prescription drug coverage. The Lewin Group analyzed how drug coverage has changed for seniors since implementation of the new Medicare drug benefit and developed a set of factsheets indicating what additional coverage is available to seniors in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
