Getting Ready for 2006: Partnering with State Government Agencies 

The Medicare environment is undergoing major changes.  Each and every Medicare beneficiary will need to make critical decisions at this time next year about how they will get their health care, including prescription drugs, through Medicare.  We will continue our discussion from the November call to further explore how programs can partner with state and local government agencies to reach Medicare beneficiaries in their community before 2006.  In particular, we will focus on partnering activities with state Medicaid agencies.
