To help senior customers as they get ready to select a prescription drug
plan (PDP) or update their existing coverage during the upcoming annual
Medicare Part D enrollment period, Rite Aid is once again offering free
resources. Beginning Oct. 15, customers can use Rite Aid’s Medicare
Advisor, available at any Rite Aid pharmacy, to request the three
lowest-cost prescription drug plans based on current prescriptions
filled at Rite Aid*. Rite Aid’s Medicare Advisor is also available
online at www.riteaid.com/medicareadvisor.
"Rite Aid is committed to offering convenient, informative and
easy-to-understand resources to help our customers make the best
decisions to achieve their individual health and wellness goals," said
Robert I. Thompson, executive vice president of pharmacy for Rite Aid.
"Prescriptions play an important role in maintaining good health and
that’s why it’s important to review your prescription drug coverage each
year. Accessible in Rite Aid pharmacies nationwide or from home, our
Medicare Advisor is a valuable tool for customers evaluating their
prescription coverage, helping them to confidently choose the best plan
based on their prescription needs."
With Rite Aid’s Medicare Advisor, customers can compare the estimated
annual costs of various plans, including monthly premiums, brand and
generic co-pays and drugs covered. Customers can then discuss their
Medicare Advisor report with their Rite Aid pharmacists, who are
available to answer questions they may have.
