Medicare Resources for Consumers with Disabilities & Chronic Conditions

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has compiled extensive resources on Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) and Medicare Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage) on http://www.medicare.gov . The HHS Office on Disability has identified informational resources that we believe will be particularly helpful to consumers with disabilities and chronic conditions in identifying the most suitable plan. However we encourage you to explore Medicare.gov for yourself for more details.
