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.

CareSouth Carolina's Jeri Andrews Discusses "Building Trust During Challenging Times"
CareSouth Carolina Associate Medical Director Jeri L. Andrews, FNP, recently spoke with the Harvard-affiliated Mobile Health Map about CareSouth Carolina’s work with mobile care in its community.
CareSouth Carolina’s Moby Outreach program allows the organization to go out into the community and deliver our services everywhere- from community centers to churches to schools to store parking lots to town halls and many more places.
The Moby, which is a mobile unit equipped with healthcare technology, allows CareSouth Carolina providers, nurses, and community health workers to operate outside of the four walls of their office locations and help treat and care for patients in their own communities.
“When we visit, we ask: What is it that you need? They could have food insecurity or no refrigerator to keep food safe, or no electricity at all, or they could have a transportation issue,” she said. “A nurse or a CHW can spend an hour or two at your home [to assess the situation] and then coordinate those resources, plus arrange for close follow-up. That’s what we’re focusing on – getting into their environment and getting them what they need. It may not have anything to do with health care. But if we fix those other issues, their health is going to improve. This is just a different way of providing care. Going to someone’s home and helping them instead of saying, ‘Come to me.’”
The Mobys were purchased to assist in providing increased access to COVID-19 testing during the pandemic, but can be used for a wide variety of services, including chronic care & screenings, immunizations and vaccinations.
