Legislative implementation of the Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003.

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of
2003, signed into law by the President on December 8, provides historic
opportunities to ensure that the Medicare program makes important

implementing the many provisions of this legislation.

The agency has received many questions about timeframes and plans
