If you indeed have a financial hardship and have expensive drugs that you cannot get a generic, the drug companies can help you out.
My wife is on medicare due to her disability. Her drug costs $44K per year. The drug company picked up the tab this year and we are waiting a decision for next year.
It only takes one month for her to reach the donut hole. Based on what medicare told me Friday, with the 50% drug discount in the donut hole, actual out of pocket costs max out at about $1,700....Then 5% of the cost of the drug cost for each month thereafter. I was on the phone with medicare Friday for about 40 minutes... They are very helpful!
Call them too!
