The Humana Walmart-Preferred Rx Plan (PDP) offers one national monthly plan premium of $14.80. A typical Medicare Part D beneficiary who enrolls in the plan can save more than $450 in 2011 over an average Part D prescription, according to an estimate by Humana, Louisville, Ky.

In-store copayments on generic prescriptions start as low as $2 when plan members use preferred pharmacies, according to the announcement.
