Based on the newly released 2010 stand-alone Medicare Part D prescription drug plan information, around 80% of seniors and other Medicare beneficiaries across the country can expect to see an increase in their current monthly Medicare Part D premiums unless they switch to a lower cost plan. A summary of the stand-alone 2010 Medicare prescription drug plan landscape now online at Q1Medicare.com also shows that seniors will have a slightly smaller selection of Medicare prescription drug plan in their state with more 2010 plans implementing an initial deductible and fewer 2010 Part D plans offering donut hole coverage. On the upside, Medicare beneficiaries qualifying for the full low-income subsidy will still find a number of 2010 Part D plans in each state offering the $0 monthly premium.

2010 Medicare Part D prescription drug plan infomation now available on Q1Medicare.com
Seniors and other Medicare Part D beneficiaries can now find more information on 2010 Medicare Part D prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans on our recently updated Q1Medicare.com site.
We are offering Medicare Part D plan details - including monthly premiums, deductibles, and even the size of the plan's drug list or formulary - for ALL Medicare Part D prescription drug plans in ALL 50 states across the country.
We also now include all 2010 Medicare Part D plans in all United States territories (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marina Islands, Puerto Rico, and US Virgin Islands).
We also provide enrollment information for all Medicare Part D plans - including telephone enrollment information, online enrollment options (when available), and a limited number of enrollment applications available for download.
We include information on such nationally available Medicare Part D prescription drug plans as provided by Aetna Medicare, AARP / United HealthCare, Universal American's Member Health Community Care CCRx, Cigna Medicare Rx, Coventry AdvantraRx, Coventry First Health Part D, EnvisionRx Plus, Health Net, Humana, Silver Script, Universal American's PrescribaRx (formerly Prescription Pathway), RxAmerica, WellCare, and Wellpoint's Unicare.
Seniors and other Medicare beneficiaries can obtain enrollment information from the links found directly on our Q1Medicare.com Homepage.
Features of all 2010 Medicare Part D plans are available through our 2010 PDP-Finder. We have also added a tool to help first-time users narrow the search for a new Medicare Part D plan: PDP-Wizard. If you wish to see how your 2009 Medicare Part D plan changed in 2010, try our 2010 PDP-Compare.
When will you leave the initial coverage phase and enter the Donut Hole or Coverage Gap in 2010? Will you ever leave the Donut Hole and enter the Catastrophic portion of your Part D drug plan? You can use our 2010 PDP-Planner to get an idea of how to prepare for your 2010 prescription drug costs.
Is your medication covered on your Medicare Part D plan? We have several tools online to help you learn more about which Medicare Part D plans cover your medications.
You can use our PDP-DrugFinder to see if your medications are covered by any Medicare Part D plan in your state - and at what cost. The PDP-DrugFinder also is the only place to find information on actual "usage management limits" such as Quantity Limits for specific drugs in a particular Part D plan. Here is an example: Show a comparison of the Ohio AARP & Humana plans covering Nexium 40MG.
We also have a Formulary Search tool online that will help you search any Medicare Part D plan's entire formulary. All you need to do is select your State and then select your Medicare Part D plan. You can then browse through the whole formula - electronically.
We also now offer a tool from our partner DestinationRx that lets you enter your medications and then shows you an estimate of your annual drug costs in a select number of Medicare Part D plans and Medicare Advantage plans. You can even save your medications in your own "Medicine Chest" so that you can use the information for later searches.
