Part D, Medicare insurance, refusing to pay for my Prograf.

I was treated at Stanford last May after my first relapse. I had ATG horse and responded well. My doctor switched me to Prograf from Cyclosporine since my Creatine worsened. I've had very few side effects with this drug and my old insurance didn't hesitate to pay for it (with a small copay). I joined Medicare May 1st and we've been fighting ever since. The latest denial says that Prograf is not FDA approved for the treatment of AA. Since there are so few people with AA there will probably never be a study. Does anyone have experience with Med Part D covering Prograf?
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
