We're pleased to announce that n4a, in collaboration with Walgreens, is launching the second annual Answers on AgingTM Pharmacy Benefits Week (PBW) from January 30 through February 3, 2017. This annual observance serves as a catalyst for a public dialogue on the problem of rising prescription costs and how older adults can mitigate these costs by maximizing their pharmacy benefits.
According to recent projections, the average annual rate of growth in Part D costs per beneficiary may increase by nearly 6 percent between 2015 and 2025.
n4a has created a toolkit including assessment tools and outreach resources to help you plan, host and promote in-person and online events to help your clients take full advantage of their prescription benefits. Last year, AAAs nationwide leveraged social media, conducted presentations and held events to get the word out.
This initiative also provides you with the opportunity to connect with a member of the Walgreens regional leadership in your area. They are eager to support your efforts to promote the Answers on AgingTMPharmacy Benefits Week in your community. To reach the Walgreens Regional Health Director in your area, please contact Sarah Casiano at scasiano@n4a.org.
