Hi all.

I am on medicare advantage plan. Don't qualify for medicaid. And thank god I refilled yesterday and I paid $139 for two months of Flex pens.

I see the cost of insulin rising substantially. I have tried looking for some patient assistance program but they all indicate "you do not qualify if you are presently on some federally funded program like Medicare, Medicaid, blah blah.

Of course I don't qualify because I have medicare part D.

So what is a person supposed to do when they have to pay bills, pay rent, pay for this and that and pay for Insulin? Is there any patient assistant diabetic programs that help people who already have prescription coverage but can't afford what the prescriptions cost??

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks much, Melody
