Data Narrative
(1) The number of referrals served is the actual number of individuals currently being served by the Medbank program. This means the referral was received, processed, and medication has been approved for the client. Number of referrals served typically decreases in January, as individuals who are in the Medicare Part D coverage gap become ineligible for the pharmaceutical in January. During the month of January, clients must use their Medicare Part D coverage to obtain their medications. (2) The number of ineligible individuals is the number of individuals per month who were referred to Medbank but were ineligible to participate. Reasons of ineligibility may include the medication not being offered by the pharmaceutical company, overscale in income/assets, insured with a copay situation, or individual does not meet all eligibility guidelines. If individuals are ineligible for the program, their Physicians are notified of ineligibility. They are referred for additional resources if resources are available. The most requested medications include diabetic, asthmatic, and depression medication(s) which is why these three medication types are tracked.
