Strom Center Executive Director McCrery Awaiting Nursing Home Medication Rates Ahead of Open Enrollment

Share

Those in nursing homes that turn in yellow medication forms to the Strom Center, accurate rates have yet to be released, explains Executive Director Carol McCrery:

“People that are in the nursing homes that always turned in a yellow sheet, we are going to ask them to put those on hold, for this reason. Our plan finders so far have not given us nursing home medication rates. If we looked anybody’s medications up and they were in a facility and using a facility pharmacy, it may not give us the most accurate. They can still turn in their yellow sheet, that is not an issue, but we may be holding off a little bit on appointments for them, simply because we have not got a clear answer to what the medication cast will be for nursing home persons.”

Open enrollment for Medicare D is October 15th through December 7th.
