Earlier this month I got a notice from Medicare about a $250 when a person got through the gap. I didn't think about it because I wasn't sure if the pamphlet was about what Congress was trying to do or what they had done. Being on Avonex I got through the gap at the end of March. So it's real nice being i the catastrophic coverage now. So today I got my check! It says next year after the gap it will give a 50% off approved brand name drugs and then other offers to Medicare until the gap will be closed by 2020.
