Medicare Education Project Documentation

Through its partner universities, NIFA is working with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to fund a project to help Medicare beneficiaries make informed decisions about the new Medicare Prescription Drug Card Program. Extension offices, partner universities, and community organizations in South Dakota, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, and Nebraska are developing outreach and marketing programs for seniors. As more states finalize their programs, additional resources will be added to this page.

• The Greatest Gift You Can Give a Senior Citizen This Year is a Prescription Drug Card (University of Nebraska)
• Idaho Best Practices: Medicare-approved Prescription Drug Discount Card Grant (University of Idaho)

Each state is also required to submit reports to NIFA that indicate the program’s successes. These can include number of volunteers trained, number of advertisements placed in local media, and number of seniors who have signed up for the Medicare Prescription Drug Card program as a result of this outreach.
