@bajjerfan I forgot to mention I also have Part G using Humana. I do not know if this has any bearing on cost savings with Lyrica. What the pharmacy told me was Medicare will not pay for 600mg of Lyrica but they Will cover 450 mg (for cheap) with a preauthorization. Again this is in CA.

@ardeecor
Part G is not administered by Medicare, but by a private insurer. Those plans do not cover prescription drugs unless given in a hospital setting like painkillers via IV or infusions like IVIG or epidurals. If Medicare covers it then your supplement carrier likely will as well. I believe that Medicare will cover your normal prescription drugs if they are given during a hospital stay since hospitals AFAIK don't normally allow one to bring their own drugs.
