The Medicare Prescription Drug Program

It is very important that persons who are eligible for the Medicare Prescription Drug Program ("Medicare Part D") thoroughly investigate their options. If you need help to analyze your coverage needs and determine a plan that best suits you, both Medicare and the Florida Department of Elder Affairs SHINE program provide individual assistance (see contact information below).

SHINE:	1-800-96-ELDER (1-800-963-5337) or www.FloridaShine.org
Medicare:	1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) TTY: 1-877-486-2048 or www.medicare.gov

If, after evaluating all of your options under the Medicare prescription drug program, you determine that you will not enroll in a Part D drug plan, the Florida Discount Drug Card provides an alternative way to save money on your prescription medications.
