These visits focus on preventive care, health screenings, and creating personalized prevention plans. By attending these visits, beneficiaries can stay proactive about their health and address any concerns early, potentially preventing more serious health issues down the line. Medicare covers a wide range of preventive services, including screenings for various cancers, vaccinations, and counseling services. Taking advantage of these preventive services can help detect health issues early, leading to better health outcomes and potentially reducing healthcare costs in the long run. Beneficiaries can manage prescription drug costs by choosing a Medicare Part D plan that best covers their medications at the lowest cost. Comparing plans annually during the Open Enrollment Period allows beneficiaries to ensure they have the most cost-effective coverage for their prescription drugs. Additionally, beneficiaries can explore options such as generic medications, mail-order pharmacies, and assistance programs to further reduce prescription drug costs. 11.1 Tips for Maximizing Medicare Benefits Chapter 11: Managing Your Medicare Benefits 202404PMED1MDSIMPLE 28 www.Postal-Service-Health-Benefits-Program.com
