Average Part D Savings
New Enrollees: $925
Switching Plans: $586
Based on 337,000 user sessions for the PlanPrescriber Medicare insurance plan comparison tool, between January 1, 2010 and March 31, 2010, in which an end-user provided the requested data (e.g. zip code, current prescription medications, insurance (if any), etc.).
End-users were categorized as "new enrollees" or "switching plans" based on the information they provided on the website. End-users were assumed to be qualified for Medicare Part C and D. Based on that information, savings were calculated by subtracting the estimated current cost an end-user was paying for prescription medication and insurance (if any) from the plan that presented the most amount of savings to the end-user and offered through the PlanPrescriber Medicare insurance plan comparison tool.
Your actual savings may vary depending on your prescription medications, geographic location, the actual plan you select and other factors. The type of benefits and coverage may vary between plans; the average savings examines only plans presented by PlanPrescriber that offer only prescription drug coverage. Plans presented may not include the same benefits or coverage as your existing plan.
