Caregivers could help residents choose best drug plan
LTC Liability Monitor, March 20, 2007
Most nursing home residents on Medicaid are likely not enrolled in the Medicare Part D prescription drug plan that best covers their medications, according to an analysis by the Long Term Care Pharmacy Alliance (LTCPA), an association of pharmacies that dispenses drugs to long-term care facilities. The problem could be resolved if nursing home residents were allowed to receive help from their caregivers, the LTCPA says. Such help is currently prohibited. The analysis concludes that under the auto-enrollment process, many nursing home residents eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare are at risk of being assigned to plans that are inadequate for their medical needs, reported the LTCPA.
