 Image Welcome to the APhA Resources: Medicare website. This website contains resources designed to help pharmacists and student pharmacists gain an understanding of the new Medicare prescription drug benefit and other changes to the Medicare program mandated by the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA). The website also includes a number of tools pharmacists can use to assist patients when navigating the new drug benefit.

The MMA adds Part D – a new prescription drug benefit – to the Medicare program. The new drug benefit, which began on January 1, 2006, is the most significant change to the program since its inception. More Info ››

Medicare plans must include a MTM Program as part of their benefit package, and many third party payors are doing the same. Resources for incorporating MTM Services into your practice are available. More Info ››
