Medicare really stinks when it comes to part D drug coverage. That's partly because drug companies aren't allowed to give rebates to people on Medicare. So you're stuck with the 20 percent copay. My copay for my copaxone is over $6000 a year.
Shared solutions did point me to a list of organizations that give grants that cover your copay costs. The whole process was stressful but I did get the grant.

Avonex and Medicare part D
I've been on Avonex since 2008. I'm going to apply for part D coverage because hubby is staying at his job of 47 years only because of the medical coverage. I have 0 copay. I went and discussed my options and Avonex is on the Tier 5 medications. Not covered. My co-pay would be $9000.00 monthly. Spoke to Biogen and they can't give me an answer on assistance until hubby is out of work. Can anyone share their experience?
Thanks
