Medicare Prescription Drug Discount Cards (and Other Changes to Medicare
The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 which was signed into law last December provides the most sweeping revision of the Medicare program since its inception in 1965. Many of the changes are administrative changes that will not be easily noticed by people on Medicare. For example, more funding is being provided to rural areas to increase access to Medicare providers.

Proposed Medicare E-Prescribing Rules: Briefing for Stakeholders, Live Audio-Conference on CD-ROM - Market Research Reports - Research and Markets
Payors and providers will be affected by the proposed new standards that will be the foundation for electronic prescribing starting in January 2006. The proposed Federal rules are the first set of what will be uniform standards for an electronic prescription drug program under the Medicare Modernization Act. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposes to make the compliance date for the foundation standards January 1, 2006, so that they will be ready for immediate use when the Medicare drug benefit begins. ?The Proposed Medicare E-Prescribing Rules: Briefing for Stakeholders,? a new executive-level tele-briefing was held on Thursday, May 5, 2005. Working on input for the proposed standards, the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics (NCVHS) developed recommendations for uniform standards for e-prescribing to promote patient safety and quality health care by taking testimony from 65 witnesses and other industry experts. The proposed e-prescribing regulations could be adopted as final standards. Thats why we have organized this special tele-briefing for all those who have a stake in these developments: prescribers and dispensers, payors, hospitals, physician organizations, prescription drug plan sponsors, Medicare Advantage organizations, pharmacies, PBMs, pharmaceutical companies and other organizations. The goal of ?The Proposed Medicare E-Prescribing Rules: Briefing for Stakeholders,? is to help all affected organizations become familiar with and get ready to meet the requirements of the new e-prescribing standards. Speaker Panel: - Avishay Erlich, Project Manager, WellPoint Pharmacy Management - Maria Friedman, Senior Advisor, Office of HIPAA Standards, Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) - Paul T. Smith, Partner, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP Program Agenda: - The coming widespread use of e-prescribing nurtured by Federal mandates - What the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003
