Re: [CML] Few Apply for Medicare Drug Coverage/AP

You have to be on Medicare to apply for the lottery. Most private insurance programs probably have lower co-payments than what would be required for those who are selected under the Medicare lottery. The Medicare co-payment is around $5,000 a year for Gleevec. Because of the complexity of the formulas Medicare will use it is estimated many on Medicare will have out of pocket co-payment costs of $5,000 to $10,000 a year.   Rob   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2004 5:40 AM Subject: Re: [CML] Few Apply for Medicare Drug Coverage/AP Are you eligible to sign up for the lottery if you have private insurand or is this just for uninsured persons??
