A recent study conducted by MedCenter Canada Inc. (www.MedCenterCanada.com ) verifies that of the 1,820 cases analyzed, 84.6% of seniors would spend less money ordering their drugs from a Canadian pharmacy than by enrolling in Medicare Part D, the Bush administration's controversial drug reimbursement plan.
The MedCenter savings are significant: on average, seniors would save $565 per year and 14.9% will enjoy annual savings over $1,000 compared to Medicare Part D.
The study also found that for the 15% of seniors that would realize superior savings with Medicare Part D the actual savings averaged only $12.90 per month. During the study, many seniors commented that the Medicare program was not worth the hassle to understand and enroll. Consequently, many seniors preferred the simplicity and convenience of ordering from Canada.
Alex Glassey, president of MedCenter Canada says the study illuminates what their customers have known all along. "Compared to Medicare Part D, buying prescription medications from Canada is clearly a superior choice for the vast majority of seniors. They will save more money and will find it much less complicated."
MedCenter Canada has been rigorously performing personal assessments at no charge for their senior customers. The results are proving invaluable because they take into account the actual drugs each patient takes as well as the details of their chosen Medicare plan. A final comparison of out-of-pocket costs between MedCenter purchases and Medicare Part D is prepared and sent to each senior. As a result, seniors are provided the necessary information to make informed decisions.
For those seniors who wish to see for themselves, MedCenter offers a free online "Part D Calculator" at www.MedCenterCanada.com or they can call toll free 1-800-442-9585 for a personal assessment. "Either way it will only take a few minutes to discover the best way to save on prescription medications. It is the best Christmas present that we could possibly give to our prospective customers," says Glassey.
MedCenter Canada Inc. (www.MedCenterCanada.com ), through its partner network of licensed international pharmacies, is an established leader in providing affordable medications to American customers. Since 2003, MedCenter has helped tens of thousands of Americans save money on their prescription medications.
