I wish that was enough.
In 2023 my medical provider decided to charge for Lupron shots. I was charged $800 for a six month shot. The three month shot would be $400.
Yeah, if I ever exceeded my part B minimum of about $8000 I wouldn’t have to pay anymore, but I have never reached any thing even close to half that.
Part D on the other hand exceeds the $2100 limit with the first order of Nubeqa In January. And from then on all my drugs are free.
I switched from Lupron to Orgovyx Because of that. Then I found it gave me a fewer hot flashes.

@jeffmarc I’m familiar with Medicare Parts A, B, and D. I also have a supplement (Medigap) plan. I’m unfamiliar with any “minimums.”
When I had my two Eligard injections (April & July 2021), Medicare Part B covered 80% of the cost; the supplement plan covered the rest. (I had no out-of-pocket costs.)
The supplement plan provider cannot “decide to charge for…..shots.” Whatever Medicare determines is covered, the supplement plan provider must cover their 20%.
Do you have Medicare Part B + Supplement plan? Or do you have a Medicare Advantage plan (that contains Parts A, B, & D)?
