Most of my meds are totally covered with no deductibles. However the 3 meds i take for PD costs me. The time released Copadopa-Levadopa 25/100 are subject to deductible as is the Seligiline. I also take immediate release co/lev 25/100 that I really like. My ins. Co (humana) won't pay for it at all.
I'm not a happy camper.
Thank you
My husband's meds are mostly covered and free, except for Entacapone which is about $27/month. When we renew insurance in December, I always list all his meds on the Medicare site to see which Part D insurer is the least expensive when you include the cost of the drugs. It changes almost every year. He currently has a Humana Part D policy and Aetna Medigap along with traditional Medicare.
