Ninety percent of seniors are satisfied with their Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D), according to a survey by Medicare Today and KRC Research. Satisfaction with Part D has increased from 78% to 90% since the program was implemented. Ninety-six percent say their coverage works well, and nearly three in four seniors say it works very well.
“It’s very rare to get nine out of 10 people to agree on anything, but Medicare Part D has sustained that level of acceptance and popularity. Beneficiaries view Part D as affordable, reliable and user-friendly. It’s become an essential component of seniors’ healthcare,” said Mary R. Grealy, Chairman of Medicare Today and President of the Healthcare Leadership Council.
