Posted by Whitney K Walker on 11/24/2006, 11:35 pm I started to recieve Medicare in September of this year for my prescription plan. I dont' know the exact type of plan that I'm on, but it's the one where I dont' have a yearly fee, no co-pay and my meds are $2 generic and $5 brand. I don't even know if the donut hole applies to me. But I will be getting some help with finding out about all of that. If anyone has a great counselor or knows of someone who can go over all of this with me, please let me know the info. Most importantly, Medicare has recently denied paying for one of my most needed narcotic medications. I'm going to go pick it up tommorrow from my pharmacy for over $600! That leaves with me $200 after my disability pay. But I just can't go off of this medication and without it, I have to make numerous trips to the hospital or I just want to die. There has to be justice out there to help with this. I know pharmacy companies make so much money every month from how expensive our meds are but $600?? I was told the drug is $45 per pill! Yipes! What I need is to find a company or organization who can help me appeal their decision and someone who can help me find a source of extra money to help pay for this. Without this drug, I will get worse and worse and with it, I can't pay the rest of my bills with the little I have left over after paying for it. I live in Alameda, California, which is in Alameda County. It doesn't have to be smething in my county or my state but maybe in the USA somewhere. So please, if anyone knows anything, even if I have to get help from a lawyer, please let me know. Any information is helpful or your story of what you did to fix a similiar problem. Please email me back personally. Thank you! Whitney Walker
