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.
Questions: Before signing up, please contact the Hartsville pharmacy staff at 843-339-5530 to speak with someone directly.
National Community Health Center week will be observed August 7th – 13th
National Community Health Center Week is an annual week-long celebration highlighting the mission and accomplishments of America’s health centers over the past five decades. While our approach is community-based and local, collectively we are the backbone of the nation’s primary care system.
This year’s theme: “The Chemistry for Strong Communities” reminds us of the key elements our health centers utilize to shape a healthy and equitable environment that includes our most vulnerable communities. Community Health Centers are not just healers, we are innovators who look beyond medical charts to address the factors that may cause poor health – such as poverty, homelessness, substance abuse, mental illness, lack of nutrition, and unemployment.
Did you know that health centers provide comprehensive care to 30 million patients at 11,000 service delivery sites in every state and territory in the U.S.? Health centers save the health care system more than $24 billion annually in reduced emergency, hospital, and specialty care costs.
National Community Health Center Week celebrates and raises awareness to the mission, resilience and accomplishments of health centers in the U.S. At CareSouth Carolina, we provide complete comprehensive healthcare across 5 counties. We are a critical piece of the healthcare system and collaborate with hospitals, local and state governments, social, health and business organizations to improve the health of our overall communities.
