Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder

From NPR's Morning Edition: "Just days before enrollment begins for Medicare's new prescription drug benefit, Medicare officials finally got a crucial program up and running on their Web site. The new 'Prescription Drug Plan Finder' is supposed to help people pick their drug coverage. Medicare beneficiaries in most parts of the country have more than 40 different plans to choose from."

The new Prescription Drug Plan Finder is now available on the Medicare website. The site also includes fact sheets and tools for choosing plans, a Formulary Finder, the Medicare & You guide, and links to a My.Medicare.gov portal.
