PAN’s Medicare reforms guide referenced in Investopedia article

During our transition, where to find information about:

In their guide to 2025 Medicare open enrollment changes, Investopedia references the PAN Foundation’s guide to Medicare Part D reforms—specifically in their coverage of the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan which launches on January 1, 2025.

In 2025, patients can spread out the cost of medications evenly over a period of months rather than paying the full amount at the pharmacy. The new Medicare Prescription Payment Plan can ease budgeting, particularly for expensive drugs.

PAN covers everything you need to know about Medicare reforms, with additional detailed guides to understanding the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan as well as the new Medicare Part D cap on out-of-pocket expenses.
