Listen to AudioCast ( audio ) ( transcript ) This Kaiser Family Foundation media teleconference briefing introduces a study, Medicare Drug Discount Cards: A Work In Progress, which focuses on early experiences with the Medicare drug discount card program. Prepared by Health Policy Alternatives, this study includes an analysis of the prices available for drugs purchased using Medicare-approved discount cards, and the potential implications for seniors. It also looks at key issues for consumers: whether Medicare beneficiaries who lack drug coverage realize the savings by signing up for a discount card, whether an individual's choice of card really matters in terms of monthly costs and savings, and whether prices have changed since the program was implemented. View the study's executive summary and report.
