Medicare Reform Legislation

 

The Medicare Modernization Act represents a significant change to the Medicare program. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is overseeing a multiyear implementation of these changes, including the recent introduction of a prescription drug benefit (Part D) and a greater diversity in Medicare’s product offerings. We believe that these changes create and expand opportunities for well-organized and focused companies to better serve older Americans. We believe that Ovations is well-positioned to respond to these opportunities.

 

In November 2005, Ovations began enrollment into its Medicare Part D program, in preparation for offering prescription drug coverage to Medicare beneficiaries nationwide. Ovations provides the only Medicare prescription drug coverage plan branded by AARP, the nation’s largest membership organization dedicated to the needs of people age 50 and over. Ovations is also offering Part D drug coverage through its Medicare Advantage program and Special Needs Plans.

 

Ovations participates nationally in the Medicare program across the broad spectrum of Medicare products—offering Medigap products that supplement traditional fee-for-service coverage, more traditional health plan-type programs under Medicare Advantage, prescription drug coverage and discount card offerings, and special offerings for chronically ill and Medicare and Medicaid dual-eligible beneficiaries. Ovations will continue to explore new market opportunities in a disciplined manner.
