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.

Angela Smith is a Patient Success Story at CareSouth Carolina

Angela Smith is a Patient Success Story at CareSouth Carolina

DILLON, S.C. — CareSouth Carolina patient Angela Smith has seen an incredible journey towards better health in collaboration with her healthcare provider, Haley Jones, FNP-BC, at the Dillon Medical Office.

Ms. Angela Smith embarked on a mission to not only enhance healthcare metrics but to give herself something to anticipate upon reaching her major health goals. Her journey was marked by achieving three significant objectives that helped transform her physical and overall well-being.

Angela lost an astounding 11 pounds within her timeframe of two to three months. In addition, she diligently adhered to her prescribed diet, maintained a regular exercise regimen, and followed her medication regimen under the guidance of Hayle Jones. Her A1C levels, which began at 6.1, were reduced to an impressive 5.9.

Finally, she recognized the importance of early detection and proactively attended her mammogram appointment, completing the examination.

CareSouth Carolina recognizes the importance of caring for the “whole patient.” The organization provides a comprehensive set of services and looks to come alongside the patient by helping them achieve their goals. 

CareSouth Carolina congratulates Ms. Angela Smith on her remarkable achievements and looks forward to sharing more inspiring success stories within the community.
