Retirement and Xolair

I have Highmark BCBS who uses Medco for my prescriptions and I am on my wife's

policy where she works which I use as a secondary .. Health Advantage BCBS who

uses Caremark for their prescriptions.

I go to the pharmacy and get a months supply and medco pays all but the co

payment. I send the receipts by mail to caremark and then they reimburse me. I

have been approved for xolair by both insurances however, Medco only lets me

order xolair in a 3 month supply and caremark will only accept a one month

supply and does not like the way medco writes their receipts. Therefore, I do

NOT get reimbursed by caremark.

Here I am covered by TWO companies and one will not pay because of the way the

other does business. My co pay through Medco is 150.00 every 3 months and my

xolair mastercard by genetech/norvatis pays 120.00 of it. My co pay is only

10.00 a month.

I AM worried about when I turn 65 in 9 years. I will have medicare and my

primary insurance will turn into a supplement. I will have to buy medicare part

D to get prescription coverage.

If I can't get xolair, then I will be put BACK on pred and then the side effects

will shorten my life. Oh, I had PLENTY when I was on 40 mg a day for YEARS! I

will not go into detail because of space LOL!

I hope by then there will be an easier way in 9 years. I hear that Medicare will

run out by then.
