Going from my wife's health insurance coverage to Medicare coverage starting Jan 2018. Anything specific I should be aware of for Plan D?

Trying to decide Plan D options for prescriptions. I take Azilect (Rasagiline Generic) and Carbidopa/Levo.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member Leon uses a generic. He is very frugal.

Azilect is better than generic in my opinion.

Sherwon, I am frugal also, I have had PD for over 10 years, I started right on Azilect and carbs leva dopa and prapaxadole {sp) and still am in pretty good condition, so I will pay the extra for my health, even tho I too don’t like the high price

I just went on Rasagiline this week which is generic for Azilect. I was shocked when I went to pick it up at the pharmacy and they said zero co-pay. No charge. :)
