Introduction
Welcome to the Comparing Prescription Drug Cost Saving Programs lesson.
In the last lesson you learned about the Medicare-approved drug discount
card. You also learned that you need to compare these discount cards,
offered by different companies, to choose the option that will save you
the most money and that it is also important to compare
the Medicare-approved drug discount cards with other prescription drug
discount programs or cards.
This lesson provides information to help you compare discount cards and other programs and understand your
rights if you have problems with a particular discount card. After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
- Identify the steps to follow in order to choose the drug discount
card that is best for you
- Describe the Prescription Drug and Other Assistance Programs (PDAP) tool
- Ask the questions that will help you compare drug discount programs
- Identify the procedures for filing a complaint
