\n SANTA CLARA, Calif.<\/span>, July 15, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Today eHealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: EHTH) (eHealth.com<\/a>) released an analysis<\/a>\u00a0that found Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) plans or stand-alone Medicare Part D plans could save an average of $762<\/span> per year ($63.50<\/span> per month) by enrolling in coverage optimized for their prescription drug needs.<\/p>\n

“We know there are few things more alarming to Medicare beneficiaries than high prescription drug costs,” said eHealth CEO Scott Flanders<\/span>. “At a time when expensive new drugs are making their way into the market, our report shows that many beneficiaries could save a lot of money by selecting Medicare plans more closely aligned to their personal prescription drug regimen.”<\/p>\n

eHealth’s findings are based on more than 33,000 user sessions of eHealth’s prescription drug coverage comparison tool by Medicare customers during Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period for 2021 coverage, which took place between October 15 and December 7, 2020<\/span>.<\/p>\n

eHealth’s prescription drug coverage comparison tool allows many users to identify their drug regimen and their current MAPD or Medicare Part D plan. It then shows them which of the plans offered by eHealth cover their drugs at the lowest combined premium and out-of-pocket cost, and the potential savings to be realized if they switched to the recommended plan.<\/p>\n
