I’m on Medicare and only pay my regular amount of $4.50 per refill. Medicare did not cover Creon for me. Just contacted my doctor because I am having more stomach issues lately, so he will probably up my dosage. I normally only eat 1-2 meals a day, so it shouldn’t affect my prescription. It is frustrating to deal with cost issues. Had a run in with Medicare about another prescription for my diabetes. It took me almost a month to resolve it and get clearence to use it for the rest of the year. I truly wish we had a healthcare system like most European countries, where meds, visits, transportation, etc are all covered. I had a friend from Scotland who got Lymes disease while working here in the states. All her medical bills were covered by the UK’s healthcare system. She never had to pay a penny for anything, even though she was teaching here for a year.
