Are you eligible for Medicare Part A? If you are thats wonderful and your monthly premium should be just over a $100.00 a month. Than you can purchase a Part B supplement for about $160.00 a month.
Part A pays 80% of your infusion cost.
Part B pays the other 20%.
You Pay nothing.
Part D is prescription coverage. If Medco is available in your area that is the best prescription coverage you can get. It costs $69.00 a month but I pay only$12.00 each for a 3 month supply of Mestinon, Cellcept and Prednisone.
$36.00 total for all 3 for three months. Mail order.
So $296.00 a month covers my infusions and all my MG medications.

I just read this post again and think I understand what you are saying a little more. Please correct me if I'm wrong.... I already have Part A and Part B. Since I have both of these, I should look into getting a Part B Supplemental AND Part D Prescription Coverage. I need to read more about the part B Supplemental to understand it more clearly. I'm just confused about Part A paying 80% of the infusion cost because the majority of the infusion cost is from the drug itself and Part A doesn't cover medication.
