What’s the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan?

The Medicare Prescription Payment Plan is a new payment option in the prescription drug law that works with your current drug coverage to help you manage your out-of-pocket costs for drugs covered by your plan by spreading them across the calendar year (January–December).

Starting in 2025, anyone with a Medicare drug plan or Medicare health plan with drug coverage (like a Medicare Advantage Plan with drug coverage) can use this payment option.

All plans offer this payment option, and participation is voluntary.

This payment option might help you manage your monthly expenses, but it doesn’t save you money or lower your drug costs.

“I am so proud to announce the dedication of the Mary J Garvin Executive Board room in honor of Mary J Garvin,” CareSouth Carolina CEO Ann Lewis said. “Located at the CareSouth Carolina newly renovated offices at the St. David's Administrative building in Society Hill.  As a founding Board member from 1979, Mrs. Garvin has been a distinguished leader whose vision and dedication have significantly contributed to the growth and success of our organization and to improving the health and well-being of the communities. She has been a mentor and inspiration to me and so many others, demonstrating exceptional dedication and passion for the mission of CareSouth.”

Mrs. Garvin expressed her surprise and gratitude at the honor. "It was a surprise. That was my first time seeing the remodeled St. David’s building. I thought we were just having our first meeting. I had no idea the new boardroom would be named after me. I’m thankful for this honor."
