I have looked at the Medicare Advantage Plans and only Healthspring Medicare Advantage covered Nuzyra and didn't have a $200K annual copay like the others. I called Healthspring and NJH was out of network. I have gone to NJH twice this year and they did have other options. I really don't want to lose NJH as my specialist, since they are lightyears ahead of my local ID and pulm, with respect to MABC. My MABC cleared spontaneously from the cultures but not sure if that really means it's gone since recurrence/reinfection is 50% with MABC.

@kathyjj I’m not up on a lot of the Medicare info yet so I’m sorry to sound so ignorant, but you’re saying that to get meds covered the drug plans, the drs office has to be connected to the drug company? I thought it only had to be connected to the actual insurance company (part d), but could go thru whatever drugs the drug company covered in their formulary
