That's wonderful! I think I had silverscripts my first year of Medicare and they weren't bad. I never tried for a PA from them but never had trouble with all the other meds and they covered all my generics. I stumbled into a really good plan the next year that has my drugs mostly free and if not free they were $3 this year (more next of course). I never even went near my deductible; I'm not sure I paid a dollar toward it while on Silverscripts my asthma medication was pretty expensive. But this plan did have certain weird meds it didn't cover that silverscripts would have: valium and hydroxyzine come to mind. Medicare drug plans are very odd. I remember having a patient who told me "I don't know how to take my meds now because I knew that I took the red one and the blue one in the morning, a green one at noon and the rest at night but since I hit the donut hole and had to change to generic other meds I can't figure it out" and that terrified me because I am sure that happens for a lot of people. This year I didn't hit the donut hole which was nice. I'm hoping the plan stays as good the 2nd year. Clozaril will be expensive because I'll have to pay the co-pay 4 times a month for 6 months so I'm hoping it is free or that everything else stays really cheap.
