Re: Prescription Medicine & MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION PLANS

[Guest guest]

Heidi;

Thanks for the warm fuzzies. I have been reading your postings

and you seem like a sweetheart. It's nice to know nice people. Is

that a saying from the 70's?

Yea, that web site and the medications I get have truly changed my

life. I did it on a whim, expecting nothing for free, but alas I got

free prescriptions; over $500 a month! Hopefully I don't need

more.

Anyone with MEDICARE.... I would try to get your meds for free

through www.pparx.org BEFORE signing up for one of the new Medicare

prescription plans.

Dick,

Sure wish I could do that, but I'm afraid that right now because of

my husband's income, I wouldn't qualify. The stickler is that once

he retires we would, but then it would be too late. He still has 5

more years left before mandatory retirement, and as long as they

consider his income, our " household " income prevents me from qualifying.

I'm looking around now for the right Medicare Prescription plan, does

anyone have any recommendations?

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi

Hi Heidi,

I don't have detailed experience but I hear the best and surest way to pick a

plan is to start with your known meds with quantities and current cost. Then

get a copy of each plan and test your cost under each plan. I hear a quiet

room and at least four hours is a good start. Good luck with that.

HAHA.....four hours in a quiet room...guess you didn't know that I

have a four month old Westie puppy attached to my feet or lap!!

Watching an interview this morning on TV with a Medicare

representative, who admitted that even she couldn't figure out all the

new changes doesn't help, either!

I'm only on page 6 of the Medicare Book that they sent me....still a

long way to go....lol

With love, hope and prayers,
