I've had a plan the last 2 years that was reasonably priced per month and many of my meds were free. But that plan got in trouble and was terminated. The so-called replacement for it doesn't cover my meds. So I started searching and most plans don't cover my meds well, especially clozaril. It looks like I have one choice and my out of pocket will be doubling plus I'll be paying 33% more for the plan.
Is anyone else finding Med D really stressful this year? I live in a really rural place which makes for fewer options I think but this is quite stressful.

If you're low-income enough, you can qualify for a program called Extra Help, which covers most of your part D premium and all but a small co-pay for your prescriptions. Do some research on different plans; some have a page on their website that allows you to plug in all your meds and find out if they're covered. I use ExpressScripts and my premium is only $4.60 per month, which is automatically deducted from my SSDI. I pay $1.63 to $2.95 for a 30-day supply of medications (all of which are generic). I don't know if it's available in your area, but you may want to see if it's an option.

I don't qualify for extra help unfortunately. I've been through all the options several times; all but one make me pay $40 or more for clozapine. So my decision is made for me.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
