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.
CareSouth Carolina administering the Flu Vaccine
CareSouth Carolina is now administering the Flu Vaccine in its office locations by walk-in or appointment.
Everyone 6 months and older is recommended to get a flu vaccine every season by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). Flu vaccine can reduce flu illnesses, doctors’ visits, hospitalizations and has been shown to be life-saving.
The Facts About Flu Shots (According to the CDC):
- Flu vaccines are safe. Hundreds of millions of flu vaccines have been safely given to Americans for more than 50 years.
- Vaccination helps protect women during and after pregnancy. Flu vaccination during pregnancy also helps protects babies from flu for the first several months after birth when they are too young to be vaccinated.
- Flu vaccination can lower the risk of serious outcomes from heart disease and diabetes.
- Getting vaccinated yourself may also protect people around you, including those who are more vulnerable to serious flu illness.
- While some people who get vaccinated do still get sick, there is a growing amount of data showing that vaccination makes illness less severe, helping to prevent serious outcomes.
Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body about two weeks after vaccination. These antibodies provide protection against infection with the viruses that are used to make the vaccine.
