A new Medicare for 2006

Starting January 1, 2006, Medicare will provide dependable prescription drug coverage that will make it easier for everyone with Medicare to pay for the drugs they need to stay healthy. This new coverage can provide help with your drug costs, no matter how you pay for your drugs today.

Because people with Medicare get their care in different ways, you have choices about your Medicare drug coverage. Medicare Oklahoma understands that making the right choice for your unique set of needs and circumstances can be a confusing task, and that’s why we have launched a grassroots effort to answer your questions and help you sift through the wealth of information.

Medicare Oklahoma is a group of concerned citizens, many who are seniors themselves, who have organized to help Oklahomans take full advantage of an enhanced Medicare program by providing the information needed to make educated choices about prescription drug coverage. Medicare Oklahoma is not licensed to sell any medical product. We provide information and counseling as a free public service and all information included on this website comes directly from Medicare.

For more information about Medicare Oklahoma, or “Part D” prescription drug coverage please call (405) 607-0058 or attend one of our free seminars.
