State Medical Boards
With the introduction of Medicare Part D, doctors and physicians are being asked to help Medicare beneficiaries get the medications they need. Many SHIPs and other patient advocates are working closely with doctor and physiciain offices. HAP has compiled a list of "State Medical Boards" for SHIPs and advocates to use. Through these boards, SHIPs can help educate doctors and physicians about the role of SHIPs and the various ways in which they and the SHIPs can work together to help Medicare beneficiaries obtain their prescriptions through Part D plans (by, for instance, including articles or short messages in the boards' periodic newsletters and other notices and publications).
