I am running into the same problem with Medicare. So far, I have been told that Medicare withholds approval until the medication is on the formulary and they have completed their federal grant promotional program.

Does Medicare have a donut hole?

It is crazy how expensive drugs are in US! Just recently, I’m on Medicare and have prescription plan D. My doctor prescribed Rifaximin 550mg for some issues with my stomach. It was over $1,000. I used Pharmacychecker.com and price was $55! The pharmacy is in Canada and they were able to get the generic from India where the drug is made. If you live in the US, you can’t get the generic, but if you live in any other country you can. I have gotten several other drugs through Pharmacychecker.com and I have gotten them for a fraction of what it cost in the US. The only negative is that it will take 3-4 weeks to get the drug. For me waiting 3-4 weeks is worth it, especially when I can save over$900.
