One of the most important things in picking an insurance company under the Medicare prescription drug program is to make certain that Gleevec is on their drug list.

  This is exactly what has happened to me, I was receiving my Gleevec
thru PAP (Novartis). Novartis sent me a letter stating that I was no
longer eligible for PAP because I was eligible for medicare D. I was in
a panic, but novartis has been helping me figure out which drug
companies would be my best bet. I don't know if you will or have gotten
a letter from PAP. But if you do Novartis will help you thru the
process. they even said that if for some reason I still can't afford
my Gleevec, that they also have programs. Novartis told me also that
the companies with no deductibles for drug coverage does not have that
doughnut hole( I call it the Money pit).I will continue to update you
all as I find out more.
