Rite Aid Offering Resources In-Store and Online
to Help Customers Choose the Best Prescription Drug Plan for
2015
To help senior customers as they get ready to select a
prescription drug plan (PDP) or update their existing coverage
during the upcoming annual Medicare Part D enrollment period, Rite
Aid is once again offering free resources. Beginning Oct. 15,
customers can use Rite Aid’s Medicare Advisor, available at any
Rite Aid pharmacy, to request the three lowest-cost prescription
drug plans based on current prescriptions filled at Rite Aid*. Rite
Aid’s Medicare Advisor is also available online at
www.riteaid.com/medicareadvisor.
"Rite Aid is committed to offering convenient, informative and
easy-to-understand resources to help our customers make the best
decisions to achieve their individual health and wellness goals,"
said Robert I. Thompson, executive vice president of pharmacy for
Rite Aid. "Prescriptions play an important role in maintaining good
health and that’s why it’s important to review your prescription
drug coverage each year. Accessible in Rite Aid pharmacies
nationwide or from home, our Medicare Advisor is a valuable tool
for customers evaluating their prescription coverage, helping them
to confidently choose the best plan based on their prescription
needs."
With Rite Aid’s Medicare Advisor, customers can compare the
estimated annual costs of various plans, including monthly
premiums, brand and generic co-pays and drugs covered. Customers
can then discuss their Medicare Advisor report with their Rite Aid
pharmacists, who are available to answer questions they may
have.
Rite Aid will serve as the exclusive co-branded preferred
pharmacy provider for the new Symphonix Rite Aid Premier Rx
(PDP)**. There is no deductible for those enrolled in the plan,
which also offers low copays and covers an expansive list of
covered medications. Rite Aid is also the exclusive preferred
pharmacy provider for the Symphonix Rite Aid Value Rx (PDP)**. Both
plans are available everywhere Rite Aid operates except
