One of our jaunts today was to pick up prescriptions. It was the first big order on our Medicare plan. Of the seven prescriptions, 6 had a $0 cost. The 7th was over $600. For a 3 month supply. This almost hit the deductible for the year. We knew this was coming and had stocked up as much as we could on the old health care plan where the same order would have been $60. We may reexplore the Canadian drug pipeline that we had used when a previous health plan had similarly high costs as we’re paying now. But with tariffs and other political issues I’m not sure it will be as easy as it was several years ago.

Does someone take Eliquis? Mom was prescribed that instead of the Warfarin that had given her trouble. None of the doctors seemed to realize how expensive it was. It sounds like you have an excellent plan and have this well-organized!

Warfarin is in our regime. I seem to remember Eliquis had some pros, but didn’t play well with mechanical valves. The organization is different now, still trying to understand all of the ins and outs.
