If I have Medicaid and Medicare, do I need Part D coverage?

If Medicaid pays for your drugs and you have Medicare, your prescription drug coverage will change on January 1, 2006. At that time, your Medicaid drug coverage will end. Medicare Part D will replace your current Medicaid prescription drug coverage.

IMPORTANT: Medicare is automatically assigning you to one of the Part D drug plans offered in Arkansas. You should have received a yellow letter telling you the name of your Part D drug plan.

CAUTION: This Plan may not be the best Part D plan for you! To choose the best plan for you, call the Prescription Drug PA Help Desk at In-state toll free: (800) 707-3854 or Local and out-of-state: (501) 374-6609 extension 500

You can change plans at any time and your new coverage will start the first day of the next month.
