HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Nov. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Kmart
Pharmacy announced today a new partnership with eHealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: EHTH), the nation's leading online marketplace for
Medicare Part D, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, to help eligible seniors determine the best Medicare insurance
plan for them.
The partnership provides Kmart Pharmacy patients and members access to eHealth's Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Comparison
Tool. The tool is specifically designed to help patients find the Medicare drug plan with the highest estimated-savings based on
their needs. Patients can simply enter their zip code and drug regimen to compare available plans and enroll in the Medicare
insurance plan that provides them with estimated best coverage for their prescription drugs.
"Kmart Pharmacy is excited to offer this free eHealth tool benefit to our senior members and caregivers alike," said
Phil Keough, president, Kmart Pharmacy. "Navigating Medicare can be confusing, and the added
pressure of a looming open enrollment deadline can be overwhelming – which is why it is important we provide our patients with
resources like eHealth. Our experienced pharmacists are available to help patients better understand their options, provide
detailed plan information and help answer questions they may have."
Medicare's annual enrollment period is happening now through Dec. 7, 2016. During the enrollment
period, Kmart Pharmacy encourages patients to review their prescription coverage by utilizing eHealth's Medicare Prescription
Drug Plan Comparison Tool. Prescription drug coverage under Medicare insurance plans may change each year and patients'
individual prescription needs may also change, so comparing plans could potentially save patients hundreds of dollars per month.
For patients evaluating available prescription drug plans, it is important for them to consider each plan's annual deductible,
premium and co-payments, as well as which plans cover the prescriptions.
Kmart Pharmacy is preferred in many Medicare prescription drug plans – however, it does not endorse any specific Medicare
insurance company and accepts most major Medicare prescription drug plans. It participates in several regional and national
preferred pharmacy networks that offer additional savings for beneficiaries, including low co-pays on generic medications. Your
local Kmart pharmacist can tell you in which plans your Kmart Pharmacy participates in as a preferred provider.
