A new study has revealed that the new Medicare Part D plan is making it exceedingly hard for beneficiaries to know exactly what medications are covered under the plan. This is due to the more than 1,800 different private health plans now participating in part D, and each having its own drug coverage charts.

The good news was that, in the vast majority of cases, patients could expect to find at least one drug from each of the eight classes that would be covered by their plan, with the exception of heart drugs called angiotensin II receptor blockers.
