On November 12, 2020 I presented a webinar for Knowledgeable Aging on tips to save on prescriptions. We talked about a variety of topics on how to save on prescriptions.

• This most important one was Medicare Part D and why your parents need to enroll and check their coverage every year during open enrollment.
• We also talked about how your parents can get a medication reconciliation paid by Medicare if they are admitted to the hospital.
• The other free Medicare program we talked about was medication therapy management or MTM. This is offered by your parents health insurer or Part D plan. To find out if your parents are eligible, contact their drug plan.
• Mail order pharmacies, should I or shouldn’t I?
• We also talked about drug discount cards and pharmacy discount clubs. What they are and how they are different than insurance.
• Additionally, we talked about patient assistance programs. What they are, how you might qualify, and what they pay for.
• Finally, we covered state pharmaceutical assistance programs and other Federal programs for low-income seniors.

This is a lot of information on how to save on prescriptions, but I hope you find it interesting!
