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.
Questions: Before signing up, please contact the Hartsville pharmacy staff at 843-339-5530 to speak with someone directly.
Tim Brown Memorial Scholarship Fundraiser
The CareFirst Carolina Foundation, in partnership with CareSouth Carolina (CSC) and Francis Marion University (FMU), is hosting a fundraising event on January 12, from 6:30 – 8 p.m. at the Francis Marion University Freshwater Ecology Center to raise money for the Tim Brown Memorial Scholarship.
An online auction is currently underway and will end at 7:15 p.m. that evening. Some of the items for bid include a seven-day/seven-night stay at a condo in Murrells Inlet, S.C.; a two-night stay with breakfast served at the Omni Grove Park Inn in Ashville, N.C.; several hunting packages at Moree’s Sportsman’s Preserve in Society Hill, S.C.; and a football autographed by Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney. For a look at the full list of items available and to bid visit www.biddingowl.com/CareFirstCarolina.
CareFirst Carolina will honor Brown, a CSC family nurse practitioner who tragically passed away in May, through the event and online auction fundraiser supporting scholarships at FMU. Funds raised will provide two $1,000 scholarships to students earning a bachelor of science in nursing degree annually and one full tuition scholarship, approximately $38,000, will be given to a student enrolled in the master of science in nursing-family nurse practitioner program at the University. FMU staff and a team from CareSouth Carolina will make the selection, with the award being given once every two years.
“We feel that these scholarships will be the best way to keep Tim alive in our hearts and minds, while encouraging nursing students to work and practice healthcare in rural South Carolina,” CareFirst Foundation Director Mark Sobiski said. Tickets are available for the event, located at 3742 N. Williston Road in Florence, and are $50. For more information and to purchase tickets, contact Sobiski at (843) 339-1920 or mark.sobiski@caresouth-carolina.com.
This event is being sponsored by First Bank, Duke Energy, East Coast Housing, CareSouth Carolina, Francis Marion University and the CareFirst Carolina Foundation.
