2008 Medicare & You
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have created a handbook to help explain the new guidelines for 2008. This handbook describes important changes in Medicare. You can find basic information about the Medicare Program as well as specific information about each type of Medicare Advantage Plan or other Medicare Health Plans and prescription drug coverage options. This year it's different. Everyone needs to make a decision about Prescription Drug Coverage.
