redefines value for seniors

Medco Medicare Plan Provides "Specialist Pharmacists" experienced in medications used to treat common chronic conditions that affect seniors

FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Many seniors recall the days when a dime could buy quite a bit. While a dime can't buy much anymore, for millions of seniors across the country, it could potentially pay for a day's worth of their medications.

Medco Health Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MHS), today unveiled the Medco Medicare Prescription Plan(TM), a suite of three new Medicare Part D plan options for 2008 that offers seniors a range of deductible, plan and coverage options for their prescription drug needs.

The new Medco Medicare Prescription Plan portfolio consists of the following:

-- Access plan, a $0 deductible plan with copays for chronic medications

available for as little as $2 for a 30-day supply (when purchasing a

90-day supply of a generic medication via mail), and generics coverage

in the coverage gap;

-- Choice plan, which features a $0 deductible, $2 for a 30-day supply

(when purchasing a 90-day supply of a generic medication via mail), and

access to more than 3,400 prescription drugs;

-- Value plan, a low premium plan with access to thousands of medications

including generic, brand name and specialty drugs.

"The needs of seniors vary greatly - from access to a wide range of medications to a low premium to coverage in the gap - and we've designed a range of plan options for seniors to select based upon their individual needs,"
