Outreach toolkit could make explaining coverage to benes easier

Pharmaceutical providers can now check out the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' new Web-based publications that explain Medicare's prescription drug coverage.
 
How? Web surfers can view and download (or order) a copy of CMS' Outreach Toolkit, which contains basic information on the prescription drug benefit for Medicare beneficiaries, at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/partnerships/tools/materials/medicaretraining/MPDCoutreachkit.asp, according to a recent Medlearn Matters article.
 
Additionally, there are also new fact sheets and tip sheets on CMS' Web site at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/medicarereform/factsheets.asp.
 
CMS published 10 new fact sheets on the new prescription drug coverage on the http://www.medicare.gov Web site, including "quick facts" specifically addressing beneficiaries who receive Supplemental Security Income, nursing home residents and dual eligibles.
 
For the complete list of Web-based resources, go to  http://www.cms.hhs.gov/medlearn/matters/mmarticles/2005/SE0541.pdf.
