Hi JK.....You are probably better at the numbers than I am. Most of the lower prices are in the last three months. Without risking giving you wrong information because of a lousy memory, I will just tell you how I got a low average. One, I talked to the insurance resource person.....and she gave me some advice which helped. First talk to your pharmacist about specialty pharmacies. Then talk to the specialty pharmacy to find out the ups and downs of insurance coverage. Then talk to your endocrinologist or other clinician about getting a 3 month prescription.

What then happens is the pharmacist places the orders so that it is when the prices are the most advantageous. He/she keeps checking on the legal reorder date and works around it so that you get the lowest prices based on the insurance calendar.

I don't know if that helps and I don't know if it happens exactly that way. It did result in financial coverage that I could handle. The other choice is to see if you can qualify for financial support.

Good luck.
Chris

Thanks @artscaping The thought occurred to me, after I wrote that, that you may have other prescriptions that are going toward the drug amount too and that would of course cause you to get to the "donut hole" sooner. All of my drugs are pretty reasonably priced, except for my immunosuppressants and they are paid in full by Medicare B and my supplemental.
