HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.,
Nov. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Kmart Pharmacy announced today a new partnership with
eHealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: EHTH), the nation's leading online
marketplace for Medicare Part D, Medicare Advantage and Medicare
Supplement plans, to help eligible seniors determine the best
Medicare insurance plan for them.
The partnership provides Kmart Pharmacy patients and members
access to eHealth's Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Comparison
Tool. The tool is specifically designed to help patients find the
Medicare drug plan with the highest estimated-savings based on
their needs. Patients can simply enter their zip code and drug
regimen to compare available plans and enroll in the Medicare
insurance plan that provides them with estimated best coverage for
their prescription drugs.
"Kmart Pharmacy is excited to offer this free eHealth tool
benefit to our senior members and caregivers alike," said
Phil Keough, president, Kmart
Pharmacy. "Navigating Medicare can be confusing, and the added
pressure of a looming open enrollment deadline can be overwhelming
– which is why it is important we provide our patients with
resources like eHealth. Our experienced pharmacists are available
to help patients better understand their options, provide detailed
plan information and help answer questions they may have."
Medicare's annual enrollment period is happening now through
Dec. 7, 2016. During the enrollment
period, Kmart Pharmacy encourages patients to review their
prescription coverage by utilizing eHealth's Medicare Prescription
Drug Plan Comparison Tool. Prescription drug coverage under
Medicare insurance plans may change each year and patients'
individual prescription needs may also change, so comparing plans
could potentially save patients hundreds of dollars per month. For
patients evaluating available prescription drug plans, it is
important for them to consider each plan's annual deductible,
premium and co-payments, as well as which plans cover the
prescriptions.
Kmart Pharmacy is preferred in many Medicare prescription drug
plans – however, it does not endorse any specific Medicare
insurance company and accepts most major Medicare prescription drug
plans. It participates in several regional and national preferred
pharmacy networks that offer additional savings for beneficiaries,
including low co-pays on generic medications. Your local Kmart
pharmacist can tell you in which plans your Kmart Pharmacy
participates in as a preferred provider.
