About
I am the lead writer for a national Medicare Part D plan that has been awarded four stars by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. I’ve been helping plan members better understand Medicare and get the best value from their benefit since 2006.
As a senior advocate, my mission is to help beneficiaries make more sense of Medicare, save money on their medications, and lower their overall healthcare costs.
I started this blog while attending Boston University as a graduate student in the Masters of Science in Health Communication program. My blog is something I now do on my own time to help Medicare beneficiaries. This blog and any comments within are strictly my own, and in no way associated with my employment.

Liked the fraud story.
I just stumbled on your blog and am genuinely enjoying it. I was an associate director of communications at Medco for more than five years I (left the PBM in 2003) and am now doing independent contract work for a number of healthcare organizations. Medicare is indeed a maze for seniors, their adult children, and even for experienced people who work in the healthcare industry. There is such a need to provide guidance to people in plain English. Keep up the nice work. Feel free to contact me: maybe we can brainstorm some ideas together.
Carol, thank you so much for your kind words. I apologize for getting back to you so late–WordPress has an annoying habit of putting all comments into a Spam box, so I never get to see my readers’ comments until I take time out to sift through all the spam to find actual comments! I will definitely be in contact with you.
