I am disabled so medicare pays for my Pdoc visit with my copay $35. Medicare part D pays for part of my prescriptions but I still pay ~ $250/month until I hit the "donut hole" and I have to pay 100% for prescriptions. I had to stop taking Invega when I was in the donut hole because Invega cost $500 for a month's supply.

My son has no insurance, no benefits. He qualifies to see a free physician's asst that prescribes his meds for ADHD and bipolar. His meds cost ~$400/month. I am not happy with the quality of care with his PA and if/when I can start working per diem I will fire the PA and pay for a MD.
