Medicare Health and Prescription Drug Plan Tracker Updated With 2008 Data

The Kaiser Family Foundation monitors changes in private plans in Medicare, and displays them on this interactive online Medicare Health and Prescription Drug Plan Tracker including 2009 data.

The tracker provides local, regional and national information about Medicare Advantage plans, including types of plans available and premium levels, and much of this information can be mapped for all 50 states or plotted over time. A separate paper also examines special needs plans under Medicare Advantage.

Statehealthfacts.org is also a project of the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and is designed to provide free, up-to-date, and easy-to-use health data on all 50 states and provides data on more than 500 health topics.
