Supplemental Part D
 
I am still on watch and wait so hopefully far from needing meds for MDS but I am wondering about insurance. I am on Medicare part A and B. I have a supplemental B and a supplemental D for drugs. I haven't checked into what my Part D company covers but I am curious about how commonly these companies cover the more expensive meds like Azacytidine (sp?). Anyone dealt with this already? My Part D carrier is very good at not paying for expensive meds.

Sorry one else has responded...no personal experience here with Part D and don't know your plan, but for most insurance providers, there is a "formulary" online where the covered drugs are listed.

We are in the Medicare "open enrollment period" from now until December 7. That's when you can switch plans if you find a better one.

The tools Medicare offers on their website will let you search for plans that cover specific drugs. I suggest that you go to the Medicare Plan Finder, look for Vidaza coverage in your zip code, and see what choices you find.
