I had to switch from Medicare Advantage and resort to Medicare and purchase a supplement. My current plan is $6/month and I have already arrived at my catastrophic limit. Now my drugs are at zero cost until next January. A few of drugs require prior authorizations but have not had an issue with doctors providing that to insurance company.
Do you have traditional Medicare with Medicare Part D and a supplementary plan, or a Medicare Advantage Plan? It is important that you do research about out of pocket medication costs with whichever plan (s) you are considering,.
It is my understanding that typically Medicare Advantage plans do not cover as many high-cost medications, but that Traditional Medicare ( especially part D for drugs) tends to be more expensive. I take two pricey meds ( Qulipta and Botox— $1000 - $1200 each monthly) on my husband’s work insurance, but am facing Medicare application within the next couple months. I fear they will not be covered, and $24,000 annually is a big chunk of change! I haven’t started researching specific plans yet. Would also appreciate anyone’s input.
