New Web-Based Tool Helps People with Developmental Disabilities Transition From Medicaid To Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage

Ensuring Continuity of Care for Dual Eligibles: A Guide to Transition From Medicaid to Medicare's Prescription Drug Coverage is now available at http://www.theDesk.info/PartD. This guide was developed by the Disability Policy Collaboration, a partnership of The Arc and United Cerebral Palsy and the Web-based tool was developed by TheArcLink Incorporated.

Visit the Web site at http://www.theDesk.info/PartD, download the PDF copy of the guide, and develop an understanding of this information, which is vital to transitioning dual eligibles from Medicaid to Medicare's new prescription drug coverage.

This Web-based tool has a downloadable PDF copy of the guide, a timeline of key dates, a glossary of terms, and additional resources to guide users. The Disability Policy Collaboration will continue to update the website with additional information about this critical issue.
