AREA AGENCY ON AGING 1-B ADVISORY COUNCIL’S AD HOC STUDY COMMITTEE REPORT ON PRESCRIPTION DRUG AFFORDABILITY Mr. McGuire introduced himself to the new commissioners and explained what the role of the Area Agency on Aging 1-B is. He explained to them that there are 16 Area Agencies on Aging in Michigan and 600 across the country. The goal of these agencies is to assist older adults to help them stay in their homes, as opposed to giving up their independence and moving to nursing homes. Mr. McGuire gave a brief overview of the report from the Advisory Council’s Ad Hoc Study Committee. Mr. McGuire mentioned that a big area of concern for uninsured, older adults is the affordability of prescription drugs. Mr. Patterson introduced Stan Fayne, Director of Risk Management and Safety, to the commissioners as someone who worked very closely in establishing the prescription drug program for seniors. Mr. Fayne mentioned that there are close to 22,000 enrollees in this prescriptio n drug program at this time. Mr. McGuire stated that the goal is to educate people about the programs available to them so that they may make the best decisions for their particular situation. Mr. Fayne gave a little detail on the Oakland County Discoun t Prescription Plan. He said that information is available on the Internet, and it is advertised in The Oakland Press. Enrollment forms are also distributed to senior centers, and once seniors send in an enrollment form, they are sent a packet of informa tion, including information on generic drugs. Coulter moved to receive and file the Area Agency on Aging 1-B Advisory Council’s Ad Hoc Study Committee Report on Prescription Drug Affordability. Supported by Scott. Motion carried on a voice vote.
