Frustrated Brothers Tackle Medicare Part D, Lower Costs Industry-Wide

DALLAS, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- The concept for a comprehensive website
that gives prescription drug consultation and a customized, exhaustive ranking
of Medicare Part D plans started when two brothers, Phillip and Edward Boles,
tried to find a plan for their mother. As Edward remembers, "It took us hours
to calculate the price of a small selection of plans. I am a professional
pharmacist; imagine the trouble the average senior must be having!"
To help their mother and the millions of troubled seniors on Medicare like
her the pair created Medicaresaver.com. This web site helps seniors by
searching for less expensive medications, communicating these recommendations
to their doctor, showing a complete breakdown of pricing for available plans,
and assisting in enrollment.
"At first we wanted to give everyone a way to accurately compare all the
plans based on their specific medications, but the concept kept growing until
it turned into something amazing!" adds Phillip, a registered nurse.
The recently launched Medicaresaver.com is part of the growing movement of
seniors turning to the web to make important decisions. More than half a
million Part D beneficiaries enrolled online for 2008, an increase of nearly
50% over 2007. But results could be much better. Many seniors are searching
the web for answers and coming up empty-handed. Most sites are complicated,
full of marketing gimmicks, and almost none offer an upfront comparison of all
plans. Seniors complain that even the government's Medicare site uses small
font and is difficult to understand. This is one reason why seniors have
severe difficulty selecting their plan, with the typical enrollee taking more
than eight hours to choose. It is easy to see why they get stuck with
overpriced coverage. Most do not want to go through this arduous process
again, especially when there is no way of knowing if the new plan they pick
will be any better than their current one.
However, Medicaresaver.com was made especially with the senior in mind. It
has large text, is simple to use, and comes with a video guide who leads
clients through step by step. The entire process takes 15 minutes and
customers leave knowing they have the lowest cost medications and Part D plan.
Medicaresaver.com is not just good for the senior. Insurance companies,
doctors, and pharmacists also benefit because their customers are using the
most cost effective drugs available. To leverage the platform's value across
the industry, the team is working with industry leaders on specialized
solutions to help them and their customers. "As a pharmacist, it's the perfect
tool for me," points out Edward. "My time behind the counter is limited, but
with Medicaresaver.com I can make sure my customers find the lowest price
drugs and insurance plans in a short amount of time." This is why
Medicaresaver.com stands to make a dramatic impact in lowering Medicare
prescription costs industry-wide.
