This new co-branded prescription drug plan can save a typical Medicare Part D beneficiary who enrolls in the Humana Walmart-Preferred Rx Plan (PDP) an estimated average of more than $450 in 2011 on plan premiums and prescription medication copayments and cost-shares when compared with the average total costs for a Part D prescription drug plan in 2010.

With nearly 18 million Americans relying on Medicare Part D for their prescriptions, the Humana Walmart-Preferred Rx Plan (PDP) provides an affordable prescription solution for those who need it most.

William Fleming, vice president of Humana Pharmacy Solutions, said: “One of the primary goals of health care reform is to make health coverage more affordable - and that's what we're doing with the introduction of this low-cost Medicare Part D plan.

John Agwunobi, president for health and wellness division at Walmart, said: “Financial health is a fundamental part of a person's well-being. At Walmart, the customer is always front and center, and that is why we are committed to doing everything we can to ensure seniors have access to the medications they need at a price they can afford.”
