How to Stay Out of The Donut Hole or Not Get In as Soon!
- Visit www.medicare.gov when selecting a Medicare Part D plan, whether it is your first time or changing during Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period in the fall. This is an accurate way to view the cost of drugs, which Part D Prescription Drug plan meets your needs, and the pharmacy most cost-effective.
- Talk to your primary care and specialty doctors about which brand-name drugs can be changed to generics.
- Get samples from your doctor.
- Search various prescription drug programs such as GoodRx or Single Care for inexpensive prescription drug costs. HEB, Wal-Mart, Kroger, and Costco also have discount prescription drug plans. To get their discounted price, you only need a prescription from your doctor.
- Contact the Texas A&M Medication Assistance Program at 866/524-1408 for extra help. This organization has saved over $64 million dollars helping people receive expensive brand-name prescriptions at affordable prices when they cannot afford the Part D cost for them.
