The new medicare law: drugs, outpatient therapy, new wellness benefits, and changes to your costs.
While the recently passed Medicare bill offers some information about what the new drug benefit might look like, no one yet knows exactly how it will work, which drugs will be covered, or how you will pay for coverage. The answers and more are left up to the federal agency that oversees Medicare (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services), which will write the regulations governing the benefit, and private companies as they create the plans that offer the drug benefit.
