Has anybody else received their their Part D coverage statement for 2009?
I have Humana Select which has no deductible, reasonable coverage and co-pays.
I just received my booklet for 2009 coverages. Premiums have almost doubled from $23.30 to $43.20.....co pays across the board are up 30-40%.

I was wondering if this is typical of what all providers will do now that we have been hooked for a couple of years.

I will do some shop/comparing by other providers, but would appreciate hearing/seeing if others have seen the same magnitude increases.

We have the same plan. On the new plan a 90 day supply of Lipitor is $100. At Canadadrugsonline the same Lipitor is $129, without the monthly plan expense. We decided to go there.

We have had Wellcare for several years. There are no copays and all of our medicines are included in the plan both this year and next year. Our premiums have been $23 per person for the last two years. Next year our premium will go up to $26.20 each - no copay and no deductible. Because we have never reached the doughnut hole, we have never paid anything for our prescriptions except for the premiums.

Yes, Wellcare Signature plan will be $26.20 for 2009. No deductable no copay. It has a been a good deal for us. If you do not use Generic or Tier One drugs, you may want to compare one of their other plans.

Lipitor has a generic equivalent, doesn't it.?

[BarryB]

I believe a generic for lipitor is not on the market yet

[Avista]

Your're right Generic Lipitor ( Atorvastatin) is not on the market yet in the US. However, it IS on the market in Canada. Checkout canadadrugs.com.
