Durham Medicare Rx Network
In Durham, Senior PharmAssist serves as the lead agency for the Durham Medicare Rx Network, a collaboration of front-line providers who deal with Medicare drug benefits. Launched with a one-time grant from the NC General Assembly, this initiative includes Senior PharmAssist, staff at the Durham Center, the Department of Social Services, the local Social Security office, Lincoln Community Health Center, discharge planners and social workers at the local hospitals, and others.
The purpose of this network is to ensure we all have accurate and reliable information about ever-changing Medicare benefits. We have found that TOGETHER we can combat some of the misinformation that continues to arise and build upon the best we each have to offer. Young and old, rich and poor – all Medicare beneficiaries are touched by federal policies and need the power of “we” to make good choices.
Senior PharmAssist generally hosts this group every quarter. The group's next meeting date has yet to be set but will be after Medicare's annual election period concludes. To learn more about the Network or future meeting dates please contact Executive Assistant Lesley Williams at (919) 682-4962 or lesley@seniorpharmassist.org.
