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.

R.O.A.D.S. Medical Program

CareSouth Carolina’s ROADS mobile initiative (Reaching Out and Delivering Services) offers comprehensive, remote medical care to the communities we serve and features three fully-equipped medical exam units staffed with a nurse practitioner, LPN, and medical assistant:

School-Based Health Services

Because many students in rural communities don’t have the opportunity to visit a doctor’s office regularly, CareSouth Carolina brings the care to them. CareSouth Carolina’s mobile units visit six school districts in the Pee Dee every year, providing annual wellness visits and screenings to thousands of students around the area.

The school-based care program began in 2015 with the purpose of providing care to schools in rural communities in the Pee Dee area after the lack of access to such services was identified. The program began with the Chesterfield County School District. Since then, it has expanded to add Lee, Dillon, Marlboro and Darlington Counties to its repertoire.

Mobile ROADS- Provides school-based care for students in 57 schools in five different school districts in the Pee Dee.

Care ROADS- Also provides school-based care, but can be dispatched during natural disasters to provide remote care.

Telehealth

In 2021 CareSouth Carolina began installing and managing telehealth equipment in many of our area schools. Students have the opportunity to have a virtual visit with a nurse practitioner or physician without ever having to leave the school. Unlike the ROADS school based mobiles which are designed for scheduled wellness visits, telehealth services are available on demand, as the need arises, and are designed more for acute, episodic care.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Freedom ROADS- Provides remote Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) services on-site at two area addiction treatment agencies weekly for those struggling with substance use disorders.
