Medicare Part D, Prescription Drug Program
Medicare Prescription Drug
In 2003, Congress signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act. This law includes a prescription drug benefit called Medicare Part D. This new law makes prescription drug coverage available to all Medicare beneficiaries beginning January 1, 2006.
If you are enrolled in Medi-Cal and have Medicare also, the new Medicare prescription drug benefit will replace most of the Medi-Cal prescription drugs that you currently receive beginning January 1, 2006.

Medicare Forum: Making Sense of Part D is a half hour television program that will address basic and commonly asked questions about this complicated plan. Your local PBS station will air the program in April. Please check your local listing for the day and time it's on your station.
