Medicare Drug Premiums To Rise Slightly In 2010
Saturday, Aug 15,2009, 4:37:37 PM Click:
Medicare officials announced late Thursday that the average monthly premium for the government's drug plan will be $30 next year, up from $28 this year.
Officials made the projection based on bids from private insurers that get the premiums along with a federal subsidy to administer the benefit. Companies that offer the so-called Medicare Part D plans include Humana, WellPoint and UnitedHealth.
Full details of the benefits and premiums for Medicare drug coverage will be announced in September.
