The St. Petersburg Times this morning reported that Governor Crist has announced the launch of a new statewide prescription drug discount plan (read the St. Pete Times article here).

According to the article, eligible citizens will include people under 60 years old who fall under 300% of the federal poverty level who do not have prescription drug coverage; people over the age of 60 with no drug coverage, regardless of income; and people covered under Medicare Part D who have reached the initial coverage limit, or "doughnut hole".

ENROLL ONLINE or by calling 1-866-341-8894 or TTY 1-866-763-9630.

Open enrollment for Medicare Part D starts today! If you are newly eligible or need to change your plan, you can compare plans at the Medicare website.
