Does anyone use Humana Walmart Prescription instead of Medicare Part D? I understand Humana is $15 month. Is this a prescription worth considering?

My over 80 husband has never had Medicare part D, so I'm interested in the same thing. Uses the VA for some of his meds.

Which Part D company to use depends heavily on your prescriptions and how you feel about generics. For my husband, who also has employer supplemental coverage, Humana Walmart works fine. There is a tool on the Medicare website to use. You type in the prescriptions and it will recommend a plan to you.

The Humana Walmart Prescription plan is a Medicare Part D plan.

The website is Medicare.gov: the official U.S. government site for Medicare. Look on the left hand side of the home screen for a green rectangle that says"Find Plans", click that and go on from there. If you enter your drugs it will give you a very accurate estimate of the "all in" cost for your Rx for the year (premiums, deductibles, and copayments). You have until 12/7 to pick a plan for next year. Be aware that if you could have had Part D coverage and don't, there is a penalty (additional premium) for every month you could have had coverage and didn't.

The Humana plan IS the Part D. There are many to choose from from many companies

The VA would be credible coverage and he could get a part D no penalty . Not sure about you but you could check.
