How VNA Clinicians Can Help Their Patients Make the Best Choices
|

|
A major change to the Medicare program will occur on January 1, 2006, when the new Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Benefit is implemented. VNA patients will undoubtedly have many questions about the new drug coverage and in many cases will encounter both welcoming and unwelcoming changes to their current prescription drug coverage. VNAA has designed this new center to provide VNA administrators and clinicians with helpful Q&A and other user-friendly information in order to provide needed information to patients when requested.
