I am on a Medicare Advantage Plan and it looks like your co-pay on this plan would be 33% of the cost of that drug. I have no idea how expensive it is, just that it is in the highest tier, tier 4.

You talked about a "supplement" and that is different from an advantage plan. I think if I were you I might pick up the phone and call companies that offer the kind of insurance you want. Ask them how much this drug will cost you. I DO know that with many of the advantage plans you can ask them to put your drug in a lower tier. It wouldn't hurt to try! Also, using the mail order pharmacy through your insurance plan will often result in cost savings to you. It sounds like this would be a "90-day supply" medication and it IS offered through Medco, the mail order pharmacy that Preferred Care Partners uses. Good luck.
