What’s the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan?

The Medicare Prescription Payment Plan is a new payment option in the prescription drug law that works with your current drug coverage to help you manage your out-of-pocket costs for drugs covered by your plan by spreading them across the calendar year (January–December).

Starting in 2025, anyone with a Medicare drug plan or Medicare health plan with drug coverage (like a Medicare Advantage Plan with drug coverage) can use this payment option.

All plans offer this payment option, and participation is voluntary.

This payment option might help you manage your monthly expenses, but it doesn’t save you money or lower your drug costs.

Questions: Before signing up, please contact the Hartsville pharmacy staff at 843-339-5530 to speak with someone directly.

We have a long-standing community health program that engages people in actions that improve personal health and the health of the communities where we live.

CareSouth Carolina has staff in place that can provide one-on-one case management and assistance to assist them with addressing social needs of everything from assisting with signing up for an insurance plan like Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to assisting with connecting patients with needed services and resources.

Provide health education related to disease prevention, screenings, and healthy behaviors. Examples of health education topics include:

Chronic disease prevention
Nutrition
Physical activity
Smoking cessation

Transportation Services: We understand that the lack of transportation is sometimes a barrier to needed care, so we can help facilitate and/or provide limited transportation services for clients/patients.

Translation/Interpretation services: CareSouth Carolina provides language interpretation services to our limited English speaking patients. CareSouth Carolina also arranges for American Sign Language (ASL) services for our patients as well.
