Medicare's Benefits Not Always Obvious

U.S News & World Report recently had a story discussing a report from Journal of the American Geriatric Society.  The report questioned many Medicare beneficiaries and asked them questions about their health coverage.  A third of the participants were tested as unfamiliar or very unfamiliar with Medicare's benefits.

I cannot say that I am surprised by the report's findings.  I know lawyers who have a difficult time grasping all of the details about Medicare.  The program has different parts, some parts require premiums, and rules for qualification are not always clear.  For instance, many people who are covered by Medicare do not know that they have until December 31, 2008 to enroll in the Medicare Part D (prescriptions) program.
