I'm not 65 but am on Medicare as well as Medicaid. I get assistance with my drug plan and only pay $1.00 for each prescription and $3.10 for Copaxone.

You may qualify for extra help with your drug plan. I had to fill out an application for assistance. I am sure they sent the form to me as I was on Medicaid/state health system before changing to Medicare.

You can check with Medicare and they can help you decide which drug plan would be best for you. I called and the person I talked to was awesome.

Also, some of the Medicare plans offer prescription plans. You may want to look in to that. I found that most of them you had to pay something like 25% to 33% of the specialty drug.

NurseNancy is right. Start looking in to it now before you go on. Good luck.
