Hi there, There are lots of plans for Medicare Part D. I have the AARP Medicare RX Saver Plan. You have to go to there site, and look at the plans they offer. The one I chose pays for Gleevec, and didn't have to be pre-approved. When I changed to Tasigna, it had to be pre-approved. As I told you, you can get extra help if you have low income. Otherwise, you're looking for a gap in which you have to pay so much. Plans are all different, but they will work with you and get you the best plan. Just make sure the one you choose pays for Gleevec. Hope this helps, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 11/18/2008 1:41:05 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Hi I have Medicare part d. Medicare pays for part of the Gleevec and you pay a c0-pay. There is a gap also, and out of the pocket expenses can get very high. If you need help and don't make too much money, PSI will pick up the co-payments for you. You have to sign up for this service. I know it's scary, but everyone will work to help you. You can find PSI on line, and get in touch with them. They will explain everything for you. They helped me pick out my Medicare Part D and everything. They are there to help. Try e-mailing someone that can help at this e-mail. I used it when I needed it. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Good luck, Don't worry, it will all work out.

My family may be put into this situation of only having Medicare, and I would should like to have a heads up as to how this might work on the cost of gleevec.
