Comment:
Many - not only those who qualify or are or will be enrolled in Medicare - are quite concerned about coverage eligability, as well as restrictions once one has entered into a plan.
Thank you for for your thoughtful contributions.
Very best wishes, :) LDMF.

Medicare beneficiaries may now enroll in the new Medicare Discount Drug
Card program. However, pricing information for some medications
commonly used by people with MS – including a few of the injected MS
therapies – may be inaccurate or unavailable on the CMS website. The
Society is working with CMS and MS therapy manafucturers to resolve
this issue.
Until we have more information, we suggest people wait before
signing-up for a Medicare Discount Drug Card. In most cases, once a
beneficiary’s enrollment is accepted, he or she may not apply for a new
discount card for the remainder of the calendar year. People should
know their medications are included on the cards before they choose.
