Rite Aid to provide free resources for upcoming annual Medicare Part D enrollment period

CAMP HILL, Pa. — To help senior customers as they get ready to select a prescription drug plan or update their existing coverage during the upcoming annual Medicare Part D enrollment period, Rite Aid is 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. The resource tool 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 Thompson, EVP 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 Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia and West Virginia.

 

Rite Aid is in the networks of hundreds of other Medicare prescription drug plans, the retailer noted.

 

The Medicare Part D enrollment period runs through Dec. 7.
