*** Medicare HIV Fact Sheet: Caution re January 2006
About 20 percent of people in HIV care are on Medicare, and will
need to decide on a Medicare drug plan by January 2006. It will be
especially important for those who are also on Medicaid to avoid
interruption of treatment in early 2006, when Medicaid will no longer
cover their drugs and people might not be signed up for the Medicare
drug benefit in time. A revised two-page fact sheet from the Kaiser
Family Foundation provides a brief overview of the Medicare program
-- helpful background for understanding the additional information
needed for selecting a plan.
