Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / December 2005Medicare Part D
Is a headache--trying to figure that out! It's gonna create a gap (until one gets enrolled in a drug plan). Wouldn't hurt to see if your docs can't give you a 3-month supply to get you through until you are enrolled in your chosen medicare part D drug plan.... I had been told to do this (by the county medicaid medical social worker--when I was switched to the medicaid program a year ago in my county--because there was gonna be a gap in coverage-- I'm doing this again (because there may be a gap in coverage again because of medicare part D) and also so I don't get stuck without my meds. Bonnie 1) Spoke to the Doc's nurse about getting extra pills--she'll look into that 2) Psychiatrist is going to phone in December pills (klonopin) and she gives me my Lexapro in 2-week punch out packs 3) Maybe GYN can get me more Detrol LA samples--will cal him up. When I was first scribed it he gave me (6) 1 week packs 4) Two of my other pills can get over the counter cheap at Family Dollar $2--$3/pack Damn mess (medicare part D policies that wil be covering meds) is confusing to figure out Government could have made the process easier--but like TAXES--it's harder and confusing....scarey if you don't have your medications Look into the plan that the gov't assigns you to male sure it covers what you need.....and that you are not paying too much out-of-your- Bonnie I have been researching plans on the Medicare site tonight, and either plan I look at is still going to be expensive! That "doughnut hole" really messes things up!

YYYEEEEEEHHHHHAAAAAA!!!! Bonnie > Well-- > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Bonnie Oh good! I hope it does you some good, too. That "drug plan" is such a prime example of a committee compromise! what a mess.  SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Now workin' on getting meds filled again before Medicaid won't pay for them Get meds filled before the end of December--so that Medicaid will still pay for them for December. Bonnie I had help with the research--we have a service coordinator in our building. We go to her if we residents need any help There are no premiums--Just a $1-$3 Co--pay on the Part D policy I enrolled in. Yep the whole process (of finding the right policy for you) is indeed a M-E-S-S-! It's because there are so many plans to research and choose Bonnie Bonnie, do you mind telling who you enrolled with? Gwen > I had help with the research--we have a service coordinator in our > building.

They would have automatically enrolled me in the above--had I NOT picked my own plan BEFORE January 1st. MY pick,......HUMANA I've been looking at Humana because they still cover drugs during the doughnut hole, but the premium is very high. There's no deductible at the beginning either. Can't quite convince myself it is a good deal for me. Gwen > Again--it depends on the meds YOU take....my chosen plan may not fit > YOUR medication needs [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > MY pick,......HUMANA I guess your situation may be different the mine.....or it may depend on which plan you're looking into Choose VERY carefully for your Medicare Part D plan |
